My little girl has ringworm on her scalp and we have tried lots of medicines and even took her to the doctor and they gave her a cream that has not helped and I have been using it twice a day since the 9th of Feb. I don't know what else to do for it.

I agree. If the ringworm isn't getting better with the creams, then you see if you can get some pills.

Fast Ringworm Cure?

Well, a simple case of ringworm can normally be treated with the Nizoral shampoo and the prescribed cream. I found that the over-the-counter jock itch/fungal ointment works wonders. Also, Sulfur 8 shampoo can make a difference.
If the case is persistent, keep going back to your pediatrician so it can be re-evaluated. My son ended up having an allergic reaction to the ringworm called kerions. It required him to go on prednisone for a week.

Your doctor may treat a ringworm by prescribing a fungicidal material to swallow as tablets or powders that can be applied directly to the affected areas.
If you have redness and itching of the skin and you can see a patchy lesion, call your doctor.

You can use nonprescription antifungal creams. The rash will usually improve within 2 weeks. But most antifungals need to be used for 2 to 4 weeks to eliminate the fungus.

I had a bad outbreak of ringworm last year - cream failed. My doctor put me on pills....nizoral...i'm not sure if safe for kids though.

I have lived on a farm all my life and we have always used athletes foot cream and in about 4days you will see results. This is no big deal.

Clear Nailpolish, it might make her hair a little stiff in that area but it works really well.
