I have tried the creams and they get rid of the rash but it comes back every few months. It never spreads but it is highly annoying. Everytime I try and schedule a doctors visit but by the time I go in for the appointment it clears up. Help I want rid of this for good

There are medicines in pill form that will cure you of ringworm, talk either to a pharmacist or a doctor.
Have your furniture and carpet cleaned, this sounds crazy but put a penny in vinegar and let it set over night. dab a q-tip in the mixture and then coat the area the area, it will take out the itch and the ringworm will be gone in 2 to 3 days.
You can use an antifungal cream for athletes foot. You apply it twice daily for two weeks and it will go away. I had 2 members of my family whom this worked with. One of my children got it in her hair and started to lose her hair. We had to go to the doctor then and she was put on a pill for six weeks, but we still had to cut her hair to almost nothing, but this is just because the foot cream could not get to source of the problem due to her hair. Good luck
Keep your scalp and skin as clean as possible. You should use the ointment from your doctor. Be diligent about keeping your bath towels and bed sheets extra clean. What type of work do you do? Ringworm comes from dirt. Perhaps you are exposed to the germs from a source that you aren’t paying attention to.
It keeps coming back because you haven’t completed the treatment. There is an oral medication you’re supposed to take when you get ringworm, not just the cream and shampoo. Go to the emergency room and get everything you need now instead of waiting for an appointment. And change your pillowcases. Use white pillow cases and wash them in hot water with bleach. If you can wash your pillows do that too. If not then at least spray them with disinfectant. And throw out your hats.
My grandma would take bacon grease and baking soda, mix it in a skillet on low, then once cooled down (but still warm) and rub it on my ringworm! Worked everytime!
otc crap seldom works,doc oughta try diflucan,get skin scrapings to culture & eyeball thru the microscope,,,,,ringworm is a fungus,,,,,you might try ps disinfecting foam,stuff has antifungal microbicide,,,,,,,clean bath area with it,,,,,use it to mop floor & kitchen,,,,if you got a problem with humidity,get a dehumidifier,,,,and a sunlamp (ultraviolet lamp ) from a thrift shop,,,,,,,apt or house might have mold problem,,sunlight kills mold,plus the ps foam,,,,if yer a student,you might get it from the school showers,,,,wear floppies that you treat with the foam,,,,,,,suggest to maintanence folks that fungus is amungus,,,,,authorities will deal with it when yer graduation comes around,,,if rash comes & goes,,the on & off nature suggests a food allergy,strawberries,peanuts,colas,cornsyrup,ice cream,maybe preservatives,,,docs dont wanna be bothered with somethin that don’t show up in exam,like a boss at work,,,,hes focused on you & yer job,,donwanna be bothered with what ya do at home,,,,,,,yer docs lazy if he donwanna be bothered about whatcha eat causin trychophyton,or t mentagrophytes,,,,,,he belongs in school again,,,gettin lazy
If your a wrestler you will get it over and over. It spreads like a wild fire from kid to kid and the matts and clothing. You must be coming in contact with it some how which is why it keeps returning. Figure out that and you will be rid of it forever. Keep using the creams they must be working if it goes away.
Ringworm is highly contagious and here is some info for you.
Either dont put any cream on it so that it doesnt go away and the doctor can see it, or just ask the doctor for Fluconazole (Diflucan). They’ll have to test your liver to see if you can take it, but it’ll clear it all up for good
