Ringworm??

my daughter ended up getting ringworm, in the beginning of april, we were sharing towels (but not anymore,  i wasn't thinking clearly, that i could get it) so about a month ago, i end up with a red spot on my forehead, it's oval shaped, and 2 red spots that appeared  on my chest  about 3 weeks ago, and as of now i have red spots on my chest, stomach, buttox, a few on the back on my neck, my back and they slightly itch. the center of the spot(s) look dry.  i've been to 3 doctors. 1 out of 3 say it looks like ringworm on my forehead, but not so sure about the rest of body. ive been prescribed Ketoconazole 200 mg, i just started taking it yesterday (june 14th). here are some pics: http://i46.tinypic.com/4pdau.jpg  http://i45.tinypic.com/28lzzoy.jpg  http://i46.tinypic.com/1sxtf7.jpg

I can't tell, but if the fungicide doesn't work, and it often doesn't, try an old-fashioned cure. Mince a clove of garlic, place if on the red area, cover with gauze, and bind. By the next day the ringworm will be gone. My children got ringworm in school and a Fillipino lady cured them this way. In case it isn't ringworm that you have, you might want to try this on just one spot.
