Brief Answer:
Please complete the course of antifungal drugs under supervision
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome again and thanks for the details
I had gone through your photographs, discolouration and typical site involvement is suggestive of fungal infection most probably.
In my opinion you may require a course of antifungal like fluconazole or itraconazole with miconazole powder and clotrimazole ointment or spray
Monitor the liver function with the tests and also take good hygiene as I suggested in my previous reply. If the liver function tests are abnormal again then discontinue the medicines after consulting your doctor. Drink cleaner water and take hygienic food.
Hope this answers your question
