Hi my son is two and half years old. He got ringworm in hip, it's there for 2 months and the size is getting bigger. It's up to 5 inches now. One doctor gave candid b which didn't help. I am having the same problem for past 6 months, it's getting better after taking itraconazole 200 mg for almost two weeks. Cosvate gm cream didn't help as well.
