Hi I am suffering from fungal infections since 5 months, it is on calf and thighs, dermatologist asked me to do terbinafine 250 mg for a month. I did that course nothing happened then she asked me to do a course of fluconazole 300 mg per week for 4 weeks, nothing happened then I am taking itraconazole since 2 months. Nothing happened. I have trying every single cream - clotrimazole-miconazole-sertaconazole-luliconazole-amlorfine-terbinafine. After applying any fungal cream my problem is I am getting small white blisters all over. Only one cream helped me that is candid-b (becthamosne+clotrimazole) it wiped all the blisters and infection, but I stopped now I can see again growth of fungal. Please help me with details. I'll be thankful to you for ever. Only allopathy dermatologist please.
