HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Its difficult to diagnose what has happened without having a look at the skin lesion. So I would recommend you to upload the picture of your skin lesion so that I can tell you what has happened to you.

But looking at your diabetic status and the kind of description given by you , I feel it is a Fungal Infection only . For fungal infection the medicine given to you HH Derm is fine , I can't understand why you are asking a substitute.

In case you still need a substitute you can use Candid B . Mind you you need to use the cream for 3 weeks for complete resolution of skin problems.

Hope this information was useful to you .

Any clarification feel free to ask .

Regards.
