Hi dear..as you haven't mentioned the medication in your problem so I think cream containing cotrimazole and terbinafine should be suitable twice a day..and also please continue for two weeks even after spot to prevent recurring immediately..as far as area problem you can use mirror front as well as backside like in saloon and try to reach area by making a stick of earbuds or any thin plastic tube/ pencil by tip should be covered with cotton and apply cream..hope this helps you..thanks Dr.Sohil
