Hi,
Noothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions. This could be ringworm Skin medication is usually successful at treating Ringworm within 4 weeks.
Advice often given to prevent ringworm includes:
* Avoidance of sharing clothing, sports equipment, towels, or sheets.
* Washing clothes in hot water with fungicidal soap after suspected exposure to ringworm.
* Avoidance of walking barefoot, wearing of appropriate protective shoes to the beach and flip-flops/thongs in locker rooms.
* After being exposed to places where the potential of being infected is great , washing with an antibacterial and anti-fungal soap or one that contains Tea Tree Oil, which contains terpinen-4-ol.
The treatment options include - Topical antifungal agents such as terbinafine 1% cream (Lamasil) applied twice daily until symptoms resolve (usually 1-2 weeks). Terbinifine is not recommended for children < 2 years old or anyone with impaired hepatic function.
Systemically with oral medications, especially for scalp ring worm, or infection of the finger nails or toe nails.
Call your doctor if:
* Ringworm infects your scalp or beard.
* His skin does not improve after 4 weeks of self-care.
If suspected ringworm does not respond to routine antifungal treatment, further diagnostics must be performed, like a skin biopsy, a fungal culture, or a skin scraping for fungus identification.
