Brief Answer:
Oral tablets are much better than injection

Detailed Answer:
HiXXXXX,
Thank you for choosing XXXXXXX Antifungal injections are not recommended for just local fungal infection.Injections are given for serious systemic fungal infection( that means the infection has spread the blood streams). You can try taking a single dose of FLUCONAZOLE after consulting your doctor. If you still want to know about the injections, I will be happy to give the details in the follow up query.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.
Thank you,     
Wish you good health.

Brief Answer:
Fluconazole is better than ketoconazole.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thank you for choosing XXXXXXX You can use clotrimazole cream for local application, for a oral treatment when compared to Ketoconazole Fluconazole is much better. It has good compliance because of single dosing and less hepato (liver) toxic effect. You can use ketoconazole cream as an alternative to clotrimazole for local application.

ndly consult your doctor for a prescription.
Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck!!
