[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Ringworm infection usually presents with flat, scaly lesions which are ring shaped because there is central healing or clearing with fungi present in the edges of the lesions. You being diabetic are prone to fungal infection, but that can be confirmed by doing fungal culture from skin sample taken from the edge of the lesions. Daktrin is fluconazole which is effective in superficial fungal infections, but the therapy has to be continued till 6 weeks at least. Panderm contains statin which is more effective against yeast infections. I would suggest you get in touch with a dermatologist to confirm if fungal infection is present or not. Fungal culture will be positive within 14 days if any infection is suspected. Then only try any new medications. Thanks.
