Ringworm Treatment — Wales Common Ailments Service

Get free NHS ringworm treatment at Knights Pharmacy in Wales — no GP appointment needed.

Despite the name, ringworm is a fungal skin infection — not a worm. It causes a ring-shaped, scaly rash and is easily treated. Through the Wales Common Ailments Service, we can supply antifungal treatment free of charge.

Symptoms

  • A circular, red, scaly rash with a clearer centre
  • Itching and soreness at the affected site
  • The ring may slowly expand outward

Treatment at Knights Pharmacy:

We supply antifungal cream — typically clotrimazole, miconazole or terbinafine — applied directly to the rash. Continue for the full recommended course even once symptoms clear.

Walk in to any Knights Pharmacy branch in Wales — no appointment or GP referral needed. Free for patients registered with a Welsh GP practice.

When to see your GP:

If the scalp or nails are affected, the rash is widespread, or it doesn't respond to cream after 2–3 weeks.
