Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
Prescription of anti-fungal ointment suggest that you are suffering from fungal infection.
Tinea corporis is a fungal infection affecting the body.
If the infection is not responding to anti-fungal treatment, you need to consult your treating doctor.
At this point a biopsy of the lesion may be required.
Biopsy will determine the type of lesion whether infectious or any other type of lesion.
Appropriate treatment can be given only when diagnosis is made.
If you have more queries, I will be glad to answer.
