[quote=Guest]My daughter got a ringworm Last year November, I took her to the doctor who gave her persivate ointment and antibiotics.Up to date it has not cleared instead it is spreading all over her head now.I was wondering if is there any special ointment I can buy or home remedy I can use. This worries me I even cut her head bald and she is crying saying kids tease her at school. Please help me.[/quote
You should be worried because the treatment you have described to me seems totally incorrect. An antibiotic works on bacteria, not fungus which is what your child apparently suffers from. Even the use of a cortisone in such instances is debatable because of its capacity to in fact spread the disease by virtue of its MOA. You could try Terbinafine cream to sort it out, although I personally prefer Miconazole. Failing that get to a dermatologist who has a few systemic treatment options. again, Terbinafine is popular but pretty costly, even as a generic. Perhaps a weekly dose of Sporazole or daily treatment with Griseofulvin would work too and they are cheaper. Don't stress too much, I am sure a solution is at hand.
