How to treat a fungual rash?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: How to treat a fungal skin infection depends on what type of fungus & where. Fungal infections of the skin can be treated with topical antifungal creams; if extensive, oral antifungal meds (terbinafine, itraconazole or fluconazole). Fungal infections of hair or nails require oral medications as topical meds do not reach deep enough to treat fungus appropriately.
