Please get checked from a certified dermatologist for a proper diagnosis.
If diagnosis is not perfect, then there is no use of using wrong creams and taking wrong oral medications.
Don’t misuse over the counter medicines without proper consultation.
Steroids can flare up your fungal/ bacterial infection and also can induce permanent skin damage after long term application.
Topinate not used for fungal cause
