Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Fungal infection of the face is called as pitryasis alba. As you are having fungal infection of the face for last three months I would suggest you to follow
1. Keep the face clean and dry
2. Apply cotrimazole cream over the lesions
3.Take oral Flucanazole once in a week for 4-8 weeks.
4.Oral antihistamines for five days.
These measures will reduce your symptoms and improve your condition.
Thank you.
