I've had a fungus on my sculp for over 8 months now, i've tried lots of different creams but it still hasn't gone away. please advise?

Expected outcome: If a fungus is truly in the scalp it is deep within the root system below the skin surface. Creams/lotions you apply to the scalp will not penetrate deep enough to kill the deep source. It may diminish visible surface infestation. You need to see your doc for prescription oral medication. Treatment can require a month or more of oral meds.
