[tri-med] rash

Ruth has a skin condition that is looking terrible and growing.  A 
couple of weeks ago I noticed that there was a raised ring around 
the birthmark (or scalp sore that the literature talks about...?) 
at the base of Ruth's skull.  It took me a couple of days to 
realize that it might be ringworm.  Her physical therapist and 
home nurse both agreed that it might be, so I took her to the 
family practice Dr.  He said, "yep...looks like a fungus."  So we 
have been putting miconazole on it.  Hasn't helped much.  It has 
spread around her neck and onto her tummy.  I hate it!  She had 
her "well-baby" checkup this past week.  Her doctor looked at it 
and said, "no, that's not a fungus.  I don't know what it is."  He 
gave us a prescription for steroid cream.  I haven't had a chance 
to fill it yet, so I've still been using the miconazole.  I want 
it to go away!  Any good remedies for skin funk out there?
