Should you see a Dermatologist or a Regular Doctor?
Well, it all depends. I'm going to be honest with you here. In either case, time is experience and experience only comes with time. When I had poison ivy, I went to a regular doctor who had a general practice. However, he was an older doctor. He took one look at my arm which was completely covered with poison ivy and prescribed me 7 days worth of prednisone tablets. He said that the infection was too vast to treat with ointments. Roll ahead a few years, and I came down with this ringworm thing. I went to the doctor again and got a younger doctor. He told me that he didn't think I had ringworm. He even got another doctor to look at my ringworm and that doctor did know what it was either. However, I knew I had it because my cat had two spots of it on her back. It was more than a coincidence for me. Those doctor I went to for my ringworm was very kind and understanding but he didn't know a lot about ringworm. I had a severe case of it all over my body. He probably never saw something like that before, and it may be years before he runs across another bad case of ringworm. The older doctor who treated my poison ivy had probably dealt with this type of thing many times so he knew exactly what to do and how to treat the ailment.

If he or she seems not to be able to assist you, then I would either find another doctor or go straight to a dermatologist. Another great resource is older school nurses and day care center providers. Ringworm is prevalent among children and I am sure the seasoned school nurse has seen more than her fair share of ringworm infections. She may be able to guide you to the right ringworm treatment as well.
