Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you are having the symptoms of fungal infection for which you have consulted your dermatologist for the treatment.

As he has prescribed fluconazole, 300mg, once in fortnight because the symptoms are not coming down with the topical antifungal cream. This is an excellent drug which is taken once in a the fortnight will help you to control your
symptoms.

This drug should be taken atleast for 2 months to have a satisfactory result. Continue this medicine which will help you to control your symptoms and improve the condition.
Thank you.
