    If they are that numerous that the dr has given you meds (turbinafine?) then take them. My son had them head to toe at one stage and the dr faffed about making us use canesten three times a day which did nothing. Then it got in his hair and it came out in clumps and spread to the other kids. It was seriously awful the others didn't need meds to clear it up but we ended up using lamisil spray.
    With the meds there is a small risk of it affecting the liver but then there is risk with any meds really so its somethnig you need to decide on based on how badly they have them. If you take them they will start clearing up in days but make sure you take the full course. We were on a 40 day course.
