Fungal infection on index finger

Question

Asked for Male, 30 Years

I have got this fungal infection on this palm finger from 1 month, may be a cause of gloves while riding bike. I have stopped using them the moment I noticed, have applied a lot of creams but still no major recovery. I am currently prescribed by local doctor to use clotrimzole 2vv cream, using it from 5 days but still kinda same, improved but not completely.

Hello.... Fingal infections takes very long time to heal.. One week is not at all sufficient.. You must apply it for atleast 2 to three months without default.. You must apply even after rashes disappear.. Maintain hand clean and dry.. Recurrence is common in fungal infection.
