Suggest Medication For Fungal Infection

Hi Doc... I am a male of 40+ years. I have a fungal infection and a doc prescribed a Mycoril Cream 1%. However, it seems not to be working. Its now over two months since I have been applying this as well as maintaining good personal hygiene, such as abstaining from sexual contacts

Dear Friend
Welcome to Health care magic. I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I will shortly try to help you with my opinion.

For fungal infection, i usually advise my patients oral antifungals like fluconazone/terbinafine for atleast 2 weeks.
For topical application, you may use miconazole/sertraconazole cream.
You may take antihistaminics like levocetrizine in night time for itch.
Keep the area clean and dry.


Based on the available details, this is my best advice for you. You should discuss with your doctor and share my opinion, I am sure he/she will agree to my opinion. If you wish to discuss the problem further , you may please ask.
Stay Healthy.
