A member asked:

Can i put ketoconazole on an elbow that seems to have a fungal infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get a diagnosis: Elbows are unusual locations for fungal infections, so if Ketoconazole Cream has no effect, see a dermatologist and get a diagnosis (psoriasis is more likely) and appropriate treatment.
