I was recently diagnosed with ringworm on my
leg and my doc prescribed lotrimin and hydrocortisone. I wasn't too happy as steroids affect immune function and I had been getting hydrocortisone cream and also through electrodes for an ankle injury.The hydrocortisone Tx have been going on for weeks before I developed the ringworm. 2 questions. Could the steroid make me immune compromised enough to get ringworm ? Any treatment options you can recommend ? Just switched to Lamosil and dropped the cortisone.
