How to treat ringworm in the early stages

If the patient has just developed ringworm, it does not show eczema-like manifestations. So at this time, patients are advised to apply topical antifungal ointments. Commonly used ones such as ketoconazole ointment, miconazole ointment, and terbinafine ointment can be used. However, patients must adhere to the medication, and it is best to continue to adhere to the application for a period of time after the obvious skin damage has subsided, so as to effectively avoid the occurrence of fungal recurrence. Patients who also have itching can also take oral antihistamines for relief, and can also take oral itraconazole and terbinafine with antifungal treatment. However, patients must pay attention to keep the local skin clean and dry, underwear must be changed regularly, and must pay attention to avoid mixing clothes with others, which may cause cross-infection.
