Suggest Treatment For Recurring Fungal Infection On Body

I still have the marks left from the Fungal infection (ringworm to be specific) on my body. And also some marks left on my face due to scratching my face when I had the infection because it used to itch a lot. I want to get rid of the ringworm shapes on different parts of the body and my marks on the face. Please if anyone can suggest me what to apply to get rid of the marks? Also I was going through my prescription when it can to may notice that in 2015 January I had fungal infection and again in around Feb 2016 again forgot fungal infection? Also of someone could suggest how to stop this cycle of fungal infection.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

You have a history of recurring fungal infections. You are suggested to use medicated soap & take bath regularly. Wear cotton clothes that are loose fitting. Apply ointment clotrimazole or micanazole locally in the area affected. You can take a course of oral Ketoconzole or fluconazole. Since it is chronic, it may take time to cure. Avoid high sugar food & fruits, refined oils & fats, gluten containing grains. Avoid addictions if any. Lemon, garlic, curcumin are natural antifungals.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
