Suggest precautions to prevent ringworm/fungal infections
Patient: Hello. My 6-year-old daughter was diagnosed with ringworm on the back of her hand and her palm. She was given a prescription and is being treated, but I m concerned about it spreading to other parts of her body since it is on her hand as well as others in the family being exposed. Besides washing her hands frequently, what are other ways we can prevent further spreading? I ve read that the fungi can live on items such as clothing and furniture. Doctor: HIWell come to HCMIf this is the ringworm infection then this need to be treated with Miconazole cream local application and Grisofulvin 100 mg once in day for one week, but it is important to confirm the diagnosis, because this is very important for treatment to start, hope this helps.
