Patient's question:
I have tinea corporis, which has been more than a month. There are two affected areas on my arms. Now it's a bit itchy, and I feel very uncomfortable. It's also showing a trend of shrinking. I would like to ask you if this symptom needs treatment, or what ointment can be used to stabilize it?Doctor's answer:
Tinea corporis is a skin disease caused by fungal infection, one of the more common skin conditions. If diagnosed with tinea corporis, timely antifungal medication should be administered. You can appropriately apply miconazole cream or clotrimazole ointment. Pay attention to a proper diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Maintain good hygiene and keep the affected area clean and dry. Regular follow-up examinations are recommended.
