You need to: speak with your TREATING Physician or Health care Professional for an ORAL anti-fungal medication. He/She may want to take a culture of the fugus first! Hope this helps! Dr Z

DRESS: Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia is often treated with steroids. Which medication caused it? If you have a new rash it could be a rash related to DRESS, don't diagnose yourself, you need immediate medical attention. Steroids can exacerbate or initiate a fungal infection that can be treated accordingly once diagnosed with topical/oral antifungals. Did you get valganiciclovir? Rule out xanthem/labs
