Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Over-the-counter antifungal medications can be effective in treating roundworms in the ears, neck, and head. Apply them three times daily for 7-14 days. If the infection is on your scalp, oral prescription antifungals may be necessary for 1-2 months.
Thanks
