    Proper usage of fluconazole 200mg for ring worm
    I was diagnosed with ring worm on my body. I tried creams and sprays for over a month but they are still spreading. I have fluconazole 200mg here at home which I'm going to use but I need to know the proper usage . Once a week? Once day? For how long? I don't have money to go back to the dr.

    Asking strangers who have limited medical knowledge about medication is not only foolish, but dangerous.

    With that said, ringworm I'd a fungus. You can buy over-the-counter anti fungal to treat ringworm. If you don't have money for a doctor, a pharmacist can guide you in the right direction in regards to ringworm.

    The drug is available by prescription only and comes in various forms and strengths, so don't use it without doctor directions would be the proper way to handle this.

    Again, check with your pharmacist/chemist. They are very knowledgeable about medications, sometimes even more so than physicians.
