A member asked:
Saw a pa, was told what i have on neck is fungal. have had it for a little over a week. prescribed cream two days ago. how long can this last on skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More than 2 days: depending on the kind of fungus, it can take up to weeks to treat. To be honest, at least 20% of skin outbreaks that I treat as fungal are probably allergic or contact dermatitis...its not a precise science unless based on biopsy.
