I came down with a skin infection, looks like ringworm months ago. Back in April. I was using an over the counter cream. My issue is that I was not consistent with it. This was mainly due to my work. Every day and every week is different. I work as a carer and sometimes the role just gets too demanding. Even where employment laws are broken. I never walked or went to employment solicitors.
I went to my doctor in June thinking maybe there would be a stronger cream and lamsil over the counter was prescribed.
I applied that and sometimes I would get into a routine of applying that for up to a week or more and then just stop. Something would come up or my day was too long. Some people would argue it would only take a minute but that is too simple. It's not a minute. There is changing clothes, hand washing etc. You are talking to someone who is hardly allowed to sit down for lunch.
I bought the athletes foot once only cream recently thinking I will apply that once every few days until it's gone.
The thing is I have ringworm on my two inside thighs. It was clearing on one side but it's still not gone. The other side my leg got very itchy and then my leg started burning and I was hardly able to move last week. So I stopped using the once only cream on that side.
I am so sick of dealing with this. It's life getting in the way preventing me from applying the stuff correctly for two weeks or more.
I am wondering if I go to a different GP would there be a stronger cream available.
