Hi, thanks for using Healthcare Magic.

The use of this medicine to treat fungal infections on the body is not appropriate. Because Fluconazole is a drug used to treat various types of infections caused by the candida fungus. For example fungal infections of the vagina, mouth, and urinary tract.

The most appropriate drugs for fungal infection on the skin is Ketoconazole. This drug available in 200 mg tablet form, used once daily after meals. Duration of use depends on the type of infection and response, within the range of 1 to 6 months. Physical health conditions should always be monitored during the use of this drug. But you can discuss it firstly with your local doctor.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
