 [ Symptoms ] scalp ringworm lotrimin and flagyl 3 days 1spot looks better but it has spread to other areas scalp when stop spreading he took the flagyl for 3 days and we used lotrimin he is off flagyl for a week and then back on for 3 days when will it stop spreading since it is getting hard to apply lotrimin through his thick hair to all these areas we are using disposable combs so it will not spread that way [ Disease ] when applying the lotrimin are you using the same fingerq tip on each spot it may take longer to apply but making sure each spot you treat is treated by a sterile applicator could help when i have treated people with ring worm on their bodies that is what we had to do just assuming it would be about the same
