  5. Ive been dealing with ringworm on my groin, forehead, and around my eye. The one on my groin has been ongoing since my pregnancy 8 months ago. I havent taken any oral medication since Im breastfeeding my 8-month-old, and Ive been using Terbinaforce Plus Cream, Fintop, and Ebernet. Should I consider something else or is this treatment enough for now?
