Scalp and face fungal infection
My son has dandruff in scalp and yeast infection on face since 2/3 years. He used some topical creams and anti dandruff shampoos,, there was improvement but it kept coming back.
In March this year he took Itraconazole100 mg, once daily one week.(doctor prescribed) There was improvement but infection came back after couple of months.
He has started the same medication again. Itraconazole, twice daily. For how long should he continue so that infection is completely eliminated.
