What Treatment Options are Available for Ringworm?
Most ringworm can be treated with ointments, called topical antifungals, regardless of the location of the ringworm. If creams fail to eliminate ringworm or it is very widespread, antifungal pills are also available. Fluconazole, also called Diflucan, terbinafine, also called Lamisil, and griseofulvin are all oral treatments for ringworm. Though the rash might begin to clear quickly, it is important to use medicine as prescribed. Treatment usually needs to continue for two to four weeks.

Can Griseofulvin cure nail fungus?
Griseofulvin is a medicine which is used to treat fungal infections. It is mainly prescribed for infections occurring on the skin or scalp. It is prescribed in particular for an infection called scalp ringworm (also called tinea capitis). It is also used to treat some nail infections, especially when other more frequently prescribed treatments are not suitable for some reason. It is said that it cures nails if they were mechanically thinned out (using nail file getting them as thin as possible) within a duration of 12 weeks. I only started using it a couple of days ago along with soaking my nails in vinegar twice daily. Toe nail fungus are hard to cure as the nail prevents all medications from penetrating into nail bed, therefore thinning the nails and using soaks alongside with ointments might increase the chance of killing it.
