For early-stage tinea corporis (ringworm), patients should seek timely treatment to prevent the condition from worsening. Keeping the skin dry is crucial, as fungi thrive in moist environments. Frequent changes of clothing and minimizing contact with others can help reduce the risk of transmission. Regarding medication, patients may apply topical antifungal creams such as miconazole and clotrimazole 2–3 times daily to control the infection. For recurrent cases or those with severe symptoms, oral antifungal medications, such as itraconazole or fluconazole, may also be considered as part of the treatment plan. Maintaining a healthy diet and reducing the intake of spicy foods, coffee, and other irritants can aid in recovery. The treatment of early-stage tinea corporis requires a comprehensive approach, and patients should actively cooperate with their physician's treatment plan for a speedy recovery.
