Skin nightmare

2018-08-26 19:57:37
Hi, I have been diagnosed with tinea versicolor on my face I'm currently halfway through my course of itraconazole after shampoos have failed to eradicate fungus. I'm still noticing a couple of fresh spots and I'm wondering if it means it's still active or can they still show up when the fungus is dead?? Please help
