Fungal infection

2017-01-19 11:39:25
From past two days the infection has spread over a large area. Initially I thought it's just a small patch so didn't do anything but now it itches a lot. I have also started applying oinment-Quariderm. So is there any better solution to get rid of it asap inspite of seeing a doctor.

Hi ! You must be having fungal infection. Avoid steroid containing creams like quadriderm  etc.  application of steroid containing creams Betnovate etc just suppresses it on surface but it grows beneath the skin and spreads everywhere and also becomes more resistant.
Next Steps
See a Dermatologist personally and start proper treatment
