Hello Piyush I’m sorry to hear that you’re dealing with a persistent fungal infection on your face. Here are some steps you can consider for relief: 1. Continue Using Antifungal Cream: If luliconazole cream hasn’t worked, consult your doctor about trying a different antifungal cream or oral antifungal medication. Sometimes, a different medication may be more effective. 2. Keep the Area Clean and Dry: Gently wash your face with a mild soap and pat it dry. Fungi thrive in moist environments, so keeping the area dry is crucial. 3. Avoid Irritants: Stay away from harsh skincare products, heavy makeup, or anything that might irritate your skin further. 4. Use a Mild Moisturizer: If your skin feels dry, use a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep it hydrated without clogging pores. 5. Avoid Touching Your Face: Try not to touch or scratch the affected area to prevent spreading the infection. 6. Consult a Dermatologist: If you haven’t seen a dermatologist yet, it might be helpful to get a second opinion. They can provide specialized treatment options. 7. Consider Lifestyle Factors: Stress, diet, and overall health can impact skin conditions. Ensure you’re eating a balanced diet and managing stress effectively.

Rx- Cream - Clotrimazole cream Tab Flucanazole 150 mg - eat tablet on alternate days for 3 months.

Thank you

If you’ve been dealing with a persistent fungal infection on your face for over six months, it’s important to consider that the treatment regimen may need adjustment or that there might be underlying factors affecting healing. First, ensure you’re consistently applying the luliconazole cream exactly as prescribed, as irregular use could hinder effectiveness. Consider potential triggers or environments contributing to recurrence, such as high humidity, excessive sweating, or certain personal care products that can irritate the skin. Also, using gentle, fragrance-free cleansers might help reduce irritation. However, since you’ve seen little improvement, it might be necessary to reassess the diagnosis itself; sometimes conditions resembling fungal infections might actually be eczema, rosacea, or other dermatological conditions. A revisit to your healthcare provider is advisable to refine the diagnosis - they might even recommend a biopsy to dissect the exact nature of the infection if applicable. Ask your doctor about broader-spectrum antifungal options or systemic treatments like oral antifungal medications, which could offer a more comprehensive approach. Lastly, maintaining good facial hygiene, avoiding sharing towels or other personal items, and keeping your skin dry as possible can prevent exacerbation. If alongside the facial spread there’s change in vision, intense redness, or swelling, seek immediate medical attention to rule out more serious complications.
