Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have chronic fungal ringworm infection in the groin region. Please suggest some Ayurveda medicine.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Ringworm is a skin disease fungal infection. Mostly occurs in wet areas. Its common symptoms are red skin rash that forms a ring-like structure. That is the area with itching and dryness.

Treatment plan include:

  1. Gandhaka Rasayana (Sulphur, Cow milk, Cinnamon, Amala) one tablet thrice a day after meals.
  2. Sinduradi lepa (Sindura, Rasasindura, Rasakarpura) - Apply externally three times a day.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at icliniq.

Thank you.
