Hi Doctor, I am suffering from ringworm infection in thigh and face and I am using terbinafine oral with ointment but levocetirizine is not working on my itch so can I use allegra for my itch.

The causes of ringworm No actual worm is involved. Also called tinea corporis, ringworm of the body is closely related to athlete's foot tinea pedis, jock itch (tinea cruris) and ringworm of the scalp tinea capitis. Ringworm often spreads by direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or animal. Help reduce your risk of ringworm by taking these steps: Educate yourself and others. Be aware of the risk of ringworm from infected people or pets. Keep clean. Wash your hands often to avoid the spread of infection. Stay cool and dry. Avoid infected animals. Don't share personal items.
