My daughter is 21 years, she is having fungal infection on both the thigh area. Now is spread till 4-5 inches, she is having red as well as black round patch. She is taking candistat 100 mg, twice a day and applying candiderma ointment with absorb powder but it's not giving very much effect it's from last 4-5 months. If she takes capsules then it's effective and when she stop talking it starts again, means it's a temporary treatment not the permanent.
