Brief Answer: You need a broad spectrum antifungal Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for posting your query on XXXXXXX Whitfield solution is an antifungal preparation. Plenty of anti-fungal preparations are available as over the counter drugs in most parts of the world. Most of these preparations are broad spectrum and can treat a number of fungal infections (the jungle fungal infection that you have mentioned). These drugs are available by different proprietary names. You can consult your doctor for prescription of the preparation. Whitfield solution was used in earlier times but now-a-days better preparations are available. If you have more queries, I will be glad to answer. Dr Shailja P Wahal
