• This is extensive dermatophytosis (tinea corporis / ringworm)
• Current treatment is likely failing due to steroid-containing cream (Fuzysone-M) → causing tinea incognito (worsened/modified fungal infection)
• Incomplete response also suggests resistant or inadequately treated fungal infection
Next Steps:
• Stop all steroid combination creams immediately (Fuzysone-M)
• Continue pure antifungal only: Luliconazole is fine, apply twice daily for 3–4 weeks (extend 1–2 weeks after clearing)
• Use antifungal dusting powder during day to keep area dry
• Wash clothes, towels separately and daily
Helpful Tips / Words of Caution:
• Steroid creams give temporary relief but worsen fungal infection long-term
• Keep area dry, sweat-free, loose cotton clothing
• Do not share towels/clothes → prevents spread
• Treat all affected areas simultaneously
• Recurrence is common if treatment is stopped early
