Moms say a ring-shaped or stubborn rash is likely fungal and were prescribed antifungal creams like Candid, but they strongly advise not applying anything without first consulting a doctor.
⚠️ Caution:A suspected fungal/ringworm rash should be diagnosed by a doctor before any cream is applied - moms emphasized never self-medicating these, as the wrong product can worsen it.
