Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. For fungal infection treatment should be taken properly. Most patients discontinue the treatment in one or two days and the fungus will regrow after certain period. If you were my patient then i would advise ointments like terbinafine for local application for two weeks and fluconazole tablet weekly once for 1 month. But fungus on foot if still remains oral terbinafine therapy will be required. A consultation with a dermatologist is well appreciated.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
