“I need terbinafine for my nails and also have a patch of hair on my head that needs it? ”
I was originally taking terbinafine for nail fungus but didn't finish treatment so it didn't go away. I can see it is starting to get bad again and then I have a round patch on my head where the hair is not growing. I think it may be ringworm.

Ringworm of the scalp is very uncommon in an adult. Best to have your scalp checked by a local dermatologist to determine the cause of your scalp problem. The photo lacks resolution and more serious causes should be looked into.
