Sadly I’ve been inflicted with the delight that is ringworm. It started at the beginning of July with one small patch on my stomach. The nurse at my GP surgery confirmed ringworm and told me to use over the counter anti-fungal cream. Since then, it’s spread like wildfire all across my stomach and down both legs to my knees despite trying five different types of cream. Three weeks ago, after breaking down in dispair (constant putting on cream, always doing laundry and washing my hands several hundred times a day), I called the GP who prescribed me timodine cream. That didn’t shift it either and last week the GP put me on a 4 week course of terbinafine. I’ve been taking it for a week now and there doesn’t appear to be any change- if anything, it’s got worse.
Has anyone else been through this nightmare before? I’m desperate to see some kind of light at the end of the tunnel!
