I have ringworm (I think, looks exactly like it but have only had phone consultations with dr due to nhs crisis obvs).
I've been treating it with cream for about 2.5 weeks and a week ago was out on oral fluconozole, one 150mg tablet a week for 2-3 weeks then told to call back if still an issue.
I'm due my second tablet tomorrow but in the last week, even since starting oral treatment, irs gone wild. New lesions every day all over my chest, now spreading to back and my neck has gone wild. The itch is unbearable and it's so digusting looking on my neck. There must be 25 lesions or more.
I don't think I can have anything stronger than fluconozole because I'm breastfeeding my toddler.
I've left another message to the dr but has anyone else had any experience with this? I'm worried as nothing seems to be stopping the spread
I can't disinfect the whole house as my tumble dryer is broken and we have builders in so we're basically camping out in one room at the mo - it's all v uncomfortable.
Nobody else in the family has caught it yet oddly, but I don't think it's eczema as it started with one clear patch on my arm thet I thought was a burn and didn't treat early enough so it's my own fault it's so deep in my system now.
Ughhh. Any advice? I feel hideous and dirty.
