Ringworm on Neck
I am having ringworm on lower left side of neck from 6-7 days which causes itching and burning sensation in middle of it. It was very light red in colour in early days but now turned little black in colour. I have used fourderm and betnovate for few days but the itching and burning sensation continued so I stopped using it and started applying Patanjali aloe vera gel. But I think its not having any improvement. Please help me !

Fungal infection or Ring worm.. when occurs in groin, called as jock itch.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment..So, please send more photos of the affected area by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
