Fungal infection problem
I consulted a doctor, and he recommended I use KZ Lotion on the fungal area of my back. After some time, my fungal infection was gone, but it occurred again. After using the KZ Lotion again, it is not working as effectively. Is there any stronger variant of it for fungal infection or any oral medicine I can use for this?

Recurrent fungal infections can be challenging. If KZ Lotion is not providing the desired results, a stronger antifungal treatment may be necessary. I recommend scheduling an appointment so we can assess the area and determine the best course of action. This might include a stronger topical treatment or an oral antifungal medication. Your health and comfort are our priority, and we will find the most effective solution for you.

If your fungal infection has recurred and KZ Lotion isn't as effective, there are a few options to consider:
1. Stronger Topical Treatments: Creams containing luliconazole or clotrimazole might be more effective.
2. Oral Antifungal Medications: These can be used for stubborn infections but require a prescription.
It's important to consult a dermatologist to get the appropriate treatment and ensure the infection is properly managed.
