Ringworm is a very common fungal infection of the skin, hair and nails. Ringworm can occur almost anywhere on the body. Ringworm of the feet is called Athlete's foot, ringworm in the genital area is called Jock Itch. Each location has its own "name". In most cases, it can be treated with over the counter antifungal creams (Go to the "foot section" of any local drugstore and you'll see several products that treat athlete's foot. These will treat many other cases of ringworm as well.) If a ringworm infection is severe or affects an area that is harder to treat, like the nails, beard area on a man, or scalp, then a course of oral antibiotic is most effective. Ringworm responds well to treatment and can usually be cured within 2 - 4 weeks with proper treatmment.

Fluconazole is similar to an antibiotic but it treats fungal infections rather than pathogens. It can be used as an intravenous drug to treat systemic fungal infections, or as a cream for example to treat topical localised fungal infections.

Athletes foot (tinea pedis) is another example of a fungal infection. Some fungal infections can be very serious causing septicaemia, but mostly they are localised and uncomfortable, but easily treated.

What to do if a gout infection doesn't go away?
Gout is not an infection, it is an irritation of the joint in the large toe which results from a precipitation of uric acid. Reduce protein consumption in order to reduce blood levels of uric acid, and keep the foot warm, to increase solubility of uric acid. Hot baths are helpful. Of course, if you have not consulted a doctor, but you have made your own diagnosis of gout, it is possible that you actually do have an infection, rather than gout. If you have an infection that does not go away, you need an antibiotic, and it has to be prescribed by a doctor; it requires medical training to be able to determine which antibiotic is the right one to use for a particular infection.
