Tinea Fungal Infection
I've had Tinea infection on various body parts like inner thighs, groin, belt area, armpits for almost 4-5 months now. They also start to appear around neck area and veins ears too after a few days. After consulting a dermatologist, I did the following course for 4 weeks - Tab Prugo 10 (once a day), Cap Canditral 100 (once a day), Ointment Propyzole (once during night), Ointment Sebifin (once during day). I did the above course twice weeks while increasing my dosage the second time. The infection usually subsides for sometime when I'm taking the medicine and then appears again after the course is complete while slowly moving from groin area and thighs to upper body parts around neck and ear. Please suggest a more effective course to get rid of this. I have attached photo for reference.

The treatment for fungal infection is simple. You have to take anti fungal tablets and creams for 4 to 6 weeks following which it resolves. Do not apply soap on that area and do not self treat with over the counter steroid creams. Mistreatment with steroid creams like panderm, fourderm, betnovate, candid b etc and self treatment with cheaper generic medicine is the most common reason for recurrent disease. Another cause of recurrence is cross infection from other infected people in the house. Kindly call me or contact using online consult option for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Canditral and steorid propyzole doesn't work.
