Dear lybrate-user,
we should never apply cream containing steroids on fungal infection for following reasons:
1. It can flare up fungal infection because it reduces local immunity 2. It causes local side effects like skin thinning, stretch marks, white patch etc
you should consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.
Thanks & regards.
