Ringworm or something else

[cryssybee]

In January of this year, I was prescribed Griseofulvin for ringworm after two discolored circular patches were found on the side of my face. I took it for two months straight, but the infection expanded to a large bumpy lesion covered in pimples that enveloped the entire apple of my cheek.
I experienced terrible itchy and crawly sensations in the infection. I was down to the last 3 pills of my two month course on Griseofulvin before my skin calmed down.
The lesion has all but disappeared, but I am still feeling the itching and crawling. I also see tiny pimples sprout up around the area. I am currently using OTC terbinafine, but the itchy and crawly feelings persist. Neosporin stops the itch immediately but some itching returns after a few hours. I have had ringworm in the past and it never lasted this long or gave me this much trouble. I'm suspecting that what I have may be bacterial rather than fungal, but I don't know how to explain those initial round lesions I had. I'm very confused and still very itchy.
I really need help!

Having had kitties and living in the country, i've had ringworm as well.
Extra strength Tinactin has always done the job, but you have to apply it 2x daily for 2 weeks...

This kind of bumpy fungus is known as kerion,and responds more slowly being a granulomatous reaction,and the medicine cannot reach the site easy.
