Treatment of ringworm
Tinea infections are generally treated with the administration of antifungal agents either in the form of tablets or skin creams/lotions. Commonly advised antifungal agents include griseofulvin, terbinafine, itraconazole and fluconazole. Antifungal creams or lotions are advised to be applied over the affected areas in mild cases while the tablets are advised in moderate-to-severe cases of tinea infection. The dosage, type and duration of the tablets are decided by the doctor based on the extent of the infection.¹
