Skin fungus
I was diagnosed with skin yeast/fungal. It was not by birth but a few years ago it started. I consulted a dermatologist and he gave me some tablets to take once in 2 weeks and k lotion to apply half an hour before taking bath for 1 month. I did that for 3 months and it was almost gone and I didn't had any issues of itching. But a few red rashes were still there. Now I'm abroad and it started again. What should I do now? I don't have a dermatologist in my area but my friend is coming from India is it possible to suggest some medicine so that I can take? Thanks in advance.

Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment..So, please send photos of the affected area for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
