Suggest Treatment For Fungal Infection Behind The Ears
I have what i think is a flesh eating skin fungus behind and around both ears. I am treating it with spray tea tree oil which is helping reduce coverage but i can t seem to get rid of it completely. It seems to live both on and beneath the surface of the skin. When i don t scrub it a waxy white substance builds up and its been interfering with nerves i think. Since i started using tea tree oil spray i have been regaining feeling which i never lost it was dull/somewhat numb. Do you think antibiotic pills would help?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is fungal infection then it need to be treated with antifungal only and antibiotic wont work here, and it is necessary to first get it confirm on tentative basis "Miconazole cream" can be tried, here hope this helps, take care and have a nice day.
