Tinea or psoriasis?
I am uploading a pic of rashes today after 15 days of iterconazole soap tablets and eberconazole cream and itching tablets with zocon powder treatment.I see patches are still visible. Is this psoriasis or tinea or any hiv symptom after 4 weeks of exposure? Please help.

It's typically looks like a fungal infection caused by dermatophytes diagonsed as Tinea corporis it's name varies depends on the location of our body
Now coming to your concern still is visible as patches I would recommend you have to take medicine regularly.15 days is not enough to get rid of this infection if you are continuously experiencing this symptom like itching on the affected area itis better to take oral medicine after a consultation

Hi, if the rash is still visible after 15 days of antifungal treatment, tinea would usually have shown more improvement by now. Psoriasis is possible and won't respond to antifungals at all.
Regarding HIV â skin rashes can be an early symptom, but they're usually accompanied by fever, swollen lymph nodes and fatigue. To rule it out completely, a 4th gen HIV test at 28 days post-exposure would be advised.

Feel free to consult me on Practo with the pics for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

No need to worry these patches are tinea fungal infection that needs longer or stronger treatment 👍
15 days is not enough for complete clearance. It’s unlikely to be HIV or psoriasis based on the description.
Book a quick consultation with me now I’ll review the pictures and give you the right next treatment for faster healing. 😊
