Ring worm can be a frustrating thing to get rid of. First off, it is important to make sure you actually have ring worm. A dermatologist can usually make this diagnosis clinically, however, sometimes a skin culture or biopsy is necessary. The Ketoconazol cream is usually enough to clear minor fungal infections (ring worm). The Clobetasol cream is a steroid. A steroid cream can actually make fungal infections worse. If the fungal infection has not cleared after two months, you need to see a dermatologist.
