A member asked:
I have been diagnosed with a fungal infection on my arms and was told to get an anti fungal cream. is it normal to not seem any better after a week?

Yes: Presuming the doctor was right and you do have a fungal infection you might not get better for 2 weeks. If you do not get better after that time i would call your doctor back.
