Hello,
There are various types of fungal infection of the skin. I need to have a look at the rash myself for give the final diagnosis.
For the moment, I advise applying clotrimazole cream locally.
Terbinafin and fluconazole can be used orally depending on the severity of the symptoms as previously prescribed by your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
