Suggest Treatment For Tinea Versicolor Fungal Infection

Hello, Yesterday I was dx with Tinea versicolor fungal infection. It began a couple of days ago.....The itchiness was tolerable. The doctor prescribed Clotrimazole-Betamethasone cream and a histamine. Since last night the itchiness has become intolerable and the rash spread from the breasts, underarms, groin and below the stomach to the torso, top legs. Any suggestions and do you concur with this dx??

Hi,
It seems that you are having fungal infection.
Along with antihistamines and local application you might require oral anti-fungal medicine like Flucanazole 150 mg once in a week for 4 weeks
consult your doctor and ask about this.
Keep local part clean, dry and airy.
Ok and take care.
