Ringworm treatments
Your clinician picks an antifungal that fits the site and spread of the infection.
Your skin is ready for a change.
A scaly ring or an itchy patch is often a fungus, and it is not caused by a worm. It needs the right antifungal, not a steroid cream. We check your photos and make a plan.

Start my assessmentOften yes, because the rash has a typical look. You answer a few questions and send clear photos. A Canadian-licensed medical professional reviews them, usually the same day, and prescribes when appropriate.
Ringworm is a fungal infection of the skin. Despite the name, there is no worm. It often forms a round, scaly patch with a clearer center.
This page covers tinea on the body, feet and other areas. That includes ringworm of the body and athlete's foot. Jock itch has its own page. Infections of the scalp and nails may need a different plan.
Fungi that live on skin, hair and damp surfaces cause it. It spreads by skin contact, shared towels, locker rooms, and contact with pets. Warm, damp skin and sweaty clothing make it more likely.
For a small patch, options include clotrimazole, ciclopirox and ketoconazole creams. For wider infections or ones that do not clear, your clinician may consider oral terbinafine or itraconazole. Your clinician decides which one fits you.
Other rashes look like ringworm, including eczema and psoriasis. A steroid cream can hide a fungal rash and make it spread. Your clinician checks your photos and history before prescribing.
Antifungal creams are often used for a few weeks, and you usually keep going for a short time after the rash is gone. Oral treatment varies with the site. Your clinician gives a plan for your case.
Creams can cause mild burning, itching or redness where you apply them. Oral antifungals can cause stomach upset or headache, and need a review of your health and other medicines. Tell your clinician about liver problems before you start.
Dry your skin well, especially between the toes and in folds. Wear breathable clothing and clean socks. Do not share towels, and treat the feet and any pet that has a rash.
Go in person if the rash is very painful, oozing or swollen, or if you have a fever. Also go if the rash is on the scalp or nails, or if you have diabetes or a weak immune system. See a doctor if it does not improve with treatment.
Yes. It can pass from person to person, from pets, and from damp surfaces. Cover the rash if you play contact sports, wash your hands, and do not share towels or clothing.
For a small, typical patch, many people do. If there is no change after a few weeks, or the rash spreads, get it checked. Do not use steroid creams on a rash that may be fungal.
Each consultation costs CA$175. Your pharmacy charges separately for medication. Ask your insurer whether your plan covers the prescribed treatment.
