Struggling with Ringworm? Get Expert Help Now!

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 I understand how frustrating it can be to deal with such a persistent fungal infection. Rest assured, I'm here to help you navigate through this challenge.

Firstly, I want to commend you for taking the initiative to seek professional advice. It's essential to address ringworm promptly to prevent it from worsening and spreading further.

Given the duration of your symptoms, it's imperative that we conduct a thorough examination to assess the severity of the infection. This examination may include taking a sample of the affected area for testing. By doing so, we can gain valuable insights into the specific strain of fungus causing your symptoms and tailor an effective treatment plan accordingly.

In the meantime, there are certain measures you can take to manage your symptoms and prevent further spread of the infection. Keeping the affected area clean and dry is crucial in minimizing the growth of the fungus. Additionally, I recommend refraining from scratching the affected area, as this can exacerbate the condition and increase the risk of transmission to other parts of your body or to others.

I encourage you to contact my office at your earliest convenience to schedule an appointment for further evaluation and treatment planning. Should you notice any worsening of your symptoms or develop any new concerns in the interim, please do not hesitate to seek immediate medical attention.

Thanks
