Do you avoid taking topical medication for ringworm?

Tinea corporis is a fungal infectious skin disease, mostly caused by dermatophytes invading the skin keratin. Many patients with ringworm have significant itching and the clinical presentation is a well-defined erythematous patch that flakes. Tinea corporis is mainly treated with topical medications, and it is important to avoid eating properly while treating it. Do not drink alcohol and do not eat spicy and irritating foods. Patients with ringworm should also be careful to avoid scratching the skin to avoid causing infection in other parts of the body, and to disinfect undergarments with hot water. Since ringworm is mostly caused by contact with pets, if you find that your pet also has a skin problem, you should treat it promptly to avoid repeated cross-infection.
