So I don’t know if it’s ringworm or a yest infection I try antifungal cream but it’s way too painful and usually comes back anyway with no change. Taking showers does help and yeah if I hadn’t taken a shower in so long it really will become red and itch even more. And if it’s active the antifungal cream hurts so it’s difficult to put on. I am thinking of trying antifungal tablets so it doesn’t hurt. Does this sound good?

    Not a doctor, but I wouldn’t assume a cream and a tablet will function the same way for the same problem.

    One thing you could try: instead of showering, take a bath. Soak in the water for a while, then dry off and apply the cream right away. Obviously doesn’t help for everything, but in my experience, having well hydrated skin makes a lot of things sting a lot less.
