Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

I suggest you take oral Itraconazole 100mg, twice daily for 3-4 weeks. In addition, I suggest you use a topical antifungal e.g either luliconazole 1% cream or Amorolfine 0.025% cream, twice daily for 3- 4 weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
