I'm 23 years old male facing ringworms on various parts of my body. At initial stage, it was very mild so I took terbinafine tablets and castor nf cream but it didn't helped. And now it is being severe and so many new rings can be seen appearing on my body. Some major spots are on private parts, armpit, left ear and cheek.
