In some cases, treatment for fungal infection needs a longer duration for complete eradication. General hygiene measures, diabetic control need to be taken care of too. Please consult a dermatologist for accurate diagnosis and personalised advice.

I have had a fungal infection which hasn't gone for about 6 months even after taking oral medications (itraconazole), using soap (ketoconazole), powder (fluconazole) and cream prescribed by the doctor. It's keeping the infection in control, but it's not the permanent solution. What should I do?

Hi it is mandatory for you not skip even a single day of your antifungal treatment (neither the capsule, not the local applications). Also, it is important to treat any other family members if they are having the same complaints, because fungal infection can spread from one to another. Nevertheless, if needed, you can have a direct consultation for the same if you need it.

Its important to evaluate the cause of your skin rash. Whether it is infective (like fungal infection) or eczematous or something else. Depending on the diagnosis you may require different treatment. Please consult a dermatologist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Please advice me better medicines/ointments to recover my health. Thanks a lot.

Sit ringworm is fungal infection. It spread from one person to other person. It is also due to humidity moisture and sweating. U should wear loose and cotton cloth. It is fungal infection so there is no role of roxitid. You sould not use combination cream. Please start antifunal cap itraconazole 200 mg once daily cream luliconazole twice daily and tab levocet 10, mg twice daily but my better advise is that you should visit dermatologist.

Dandruff problems could be because of skin inflammation. That needs a customized approach and maintenance treatments. Also we hope your dermatologist has advised stopping itraconazole as stopping too soon (determined by a doctor) can cause your fungal to relapse and even become unresponsive in the long run. We would like to examine the condition and review all previous treatments. Kindly visit a dermatologist near you for treatment or write to us to schedule an appointment. Wishing you health.
