Hi, pls stop using fourderm cream. It is a steroid and can worsen fungal infection. Use micogel twice a day for 2 weeks. Please see a local dermatologist for further assessment if needed.

Dear lybrate-user,
you should take anti fungal treatment after a proper consultation from a dermatologist. Treatment may continue for 3-4 months. Regular follow up is required and medicines are changed according to the improvement. It is difficult to comment on medicines without examining.
Thanks and regards.

I have fungal infection around my genitals (between scrotum and legs) since an year. For almost first 4-5 months, I ignored it considering in could be something temporary due to scratching by nails. I started treatment and from different doctor and many od them suggested itraconazole 100 mg per day, and creams like ketoconazole. It caused temporary relief but it re-appeared after stopping medicine. Then I started my treatment with a reputed dermatologist. He suggested me itraconazole 100 mg once daily, histafree 120 mg twice daily, applying candid dusting powder in morning and a mixture of triben and nadibact cream at night with candid dusting powder. This treatment continued for 2 months and the condition improved, but it still kept coming back as I stopped medicine, even after visiting doctor again, he still kept the same treatment routine. With that now, it has almost been 2 months again, and the infection hasn't re-appeared. How much time will I need to continue with this treatment to bet totally cured? How can I know about the right time to stop medication? Do I need to see another doctor?
