Fungal Infection Between Breasts. Peeling Skin And Mild Relief From Ketoconazole. Normal?
I went to the doctor earlier this month inquiring an discoloration between my breast. He told me it was an fungal infection between the breast from sweating. He gave me Ketoconazole. He told me to use it for about three weeks and it should be gone. At first it was going away now it is back again but this time it is peeling. What should I do?
Hi welcome to HCM Yes Possibly it is a fungal infection. Most likely a dermatophyte infection. It most commonly occurs in moist areas of the body. The best advice at this point will be to go to a lab. where there is facility for diagnosis of fungal infection. After exact identification of the agent, you can use a drug either oral or local, which will act against it, for treatment.
