Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Fungal infection usually requires a long time therapy. Duration or treatment varies according to severity of the infection. But average three to dour month treatment is required to completely clear the infection.

In addition to treatment good hygiene keeping by frequent cleaning and dressing is utmost important as taking drugs.

Please maintain strict glycemic control. If you are diabetic than strict sugar control can help you in good treatment.

Avoid injury and wearing good quality cotton cloth over the infefted area can help you in treatment.


I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.
