Here's what we know so far about the cases of a drug-resistant ringworm detected in NYC.
If you have a rash that you think might be tinea and it isn't getting better, skip the over-the-counter creams and go straight to your doctor or dermatologist, Levoska says.
The other problem with using over-the-counter antifungal products is that they can contribute to antifungal resistance, Lipner says."Peopleand they think it's a fungus and they're treating it with an antifungal," she says,"and that eventually causes resistance." Unfortunately, those first-line treatments don't always work to treat drug-resistant infections. And alternative medications need to be used for a longer period of time., I give them an antifungal cream they use it for two weeks or four weeks and they’re better,” Caplan says. “Now you’re giving people oral medicines for 12 weeks... And even then there can be a relapse.”
