Hello dear See fungal infections take time to recover. Iam suggesting both medications and precautions. Both are to be taken in combination therapy to get recovered fastly Antifungals powder -Clotrimazole- Candid/clomed/clozed to be applied twice a day for 1 month Micogel to be applied topically twice a day for 1 week Terbinafine 250 mg twice a day for 5 days ( oral) Itraconazole -Sporanox ( on prescription by general physician only) Fusidic acid/lulliconazole topical 3-4 times for 5 days In addition, following preventive measures should be taken Dry the involved organ ( hair,feet or skin) Prevent moisture contamination. As I mentioned, Please take recommended medications only on prescription from general physician. In case of no recovery, Consult general physician in person for better clarification Hopefully you recover soon Regards
Keep the area dry and clean. Fungi grow in sweat/moisture.
Wear loose cotton clothes, avoid tight jeans/nylon.
Do not scratch – it spreads fungus and increases itching.
Wash clothes and undergarments in hot water + sun dry.
Do not share towels/soaps with others
Ointment Clotrimazole with steroids 3 times a day Kindly visit a dermatologist
A red, itchy rash spreading for two months despite local treatment suggests a resistant fungal infection. You may need oral antifungal medicines along with proper hygiene measures for complete cure. Please consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.
