Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you are having fungal infection of the face, you would transmitted the infection to the thigh also.

But the physical examination has to be done before confirming that the lesion on your thigh is a fungal infection, even though the symptoms and the history are suggesting of fungal infection.

As you are using terbinafine and candid-b, same thing can be continued and the local application of candid-b, will help you to bring down the symptoms.

Daily use of alcohol when on antifungal treatment may increase your chance for serious side effects.

I would suggest you that in addition to aforementioned medications, you can follow.
1.Trim your nails and maintain the personal hygiene.
2.Oral Antihistamines
3.Oral Antibiotics to prevent secondary bacterial infections.
Thank you.
