Brief Answer:
you may need oral antifungal

Detailed Answer:
hello XXXX

As I answered you earlier, I mentioned to you that fungal infection takes a long time to heal.

You mention that you have used Micogel for 2 to 3 weeks. Did you use the ointment without fail, and without missing a single time? I had told you to apply it twice daily - once in the morning and once in the night. Have you followed this religiously? I also mentioned to make sure that the ointment is present on the surface 24 hrs. Did you take care of this?

Inspite of these measures, if you still have not found much recovery, then it is better for you to take oral anti-fungal like Fluconazole. This is a prescription drug, and you have to consult a Dermatologist to get the same.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
