I was prescribed a lamisil AT gel for mine and it worked really well - you can also buy it over the counter

Gentian violet was the old cure.

Are they sure that's what it is? The Doctor thought I had Ringworm but it refused to go away - I had loads of different creams and none of them worked. Eventually they did a cone biopsy and it was Granuloma annulare, which is totally different, I had drugs for it and it disappeared soon after.

Neat tea tree oil cleared mine up.
