Well first of all you have to maintain proper hygiene bath using a ketoconzole base soap or body wash. There is no cure to fungal infection if you donât maintain hygiene and secondly you have to not touch the fungal parts that is the reason itâs spreading. For detailed treatment and guidance take teleappointments.
