Fungal infection will be treated with both oral and topical medication. Tablets should be taken for 2-3 weeks depending on extent of involvement and Creams for longer even if the patches has reduced to prevent recurrence. Infection recurs if any steroid creams are taken from chemist and used or if any family member has infection and if u are diabetic
Next Steps
consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment
