So I don’t know if it’s ringworm or a yest infection I try antifungal cream but it’s way too painful and usually comes back anyway with no change. Taking showers does help and yeah if I hadn’t taken a shower in so long it really will become red and itch even more. And if it’s active the antifungal cream hurts so it’s difficult to put on. I am thinking of trying antifungal tablets so it doesn’t hurt. Does this sound good?

Talk to your Dr again. Antifungal tablets have a not insignificant chance of messing with your liver, ie permanent damage so you should avoid them if you can.
How do you even know it’s fungal? Can you get to a doctor for an actual diagnosis so you know what to use?
I had a doctor tell me yest infection and told me to get diaper rash cream which doesn’t hurt but I can’t really tell if it worked.
Cool. Well, fungus thrives in damp, so once you get clean make sure you dry off thoroughly, and there’s more than one antifungal drug used in creams, if one bothers you maybe try another? I really don’t know if the pills would work, if the doctor recommended topical treatment.
Is this a GP you talked to or dermatologist? I talked to about 4 different GPs/doctors over 2 years regarding spots which they all though were fungal infection before finally getting referral for dermatologist who was like nah it ain’t that, don’t waste time on steroid based cream and prescribed something else that worked.
