Fungal infection
I am suffering from fungal infection from last two years . It's was totally controlled before 1 year but when before 3 months from now when I started drinking alcohol it's restarted then I used fourderm, clobeta gm and dermicam oc to control it , that time I was thinking that its starts from my drinking habit but when I go to the doctor he told me that it's only a fungal infection , alcohol is not a reason behind it, he gave me some medicine and a tube lulifin then I am taking these medicine from Last one week . Could anyone please help to tell that how much time it'll take to control and is there any reason to avoid alcohol .
Thanks

Please do not use steroid containing creams like fourderm or clobateGM . By applying the creams you might feel there is a temporary relief in the skin condition but that does not cure the infection and the condition will keep coming back. Your doctor is right in saying that it is not related to alcohol, and the cream prescribed by him is also effective. However you need to be really regular with the treatment and keep meeting with the doctor for follow-up as advised. The treatment will take time and you have to continue for at least two or three months to eradicate the infection from the root. Hope this is helpful
