Having Lota Skin Fungus, Used Sulphur For Eating, Bathing And Drinking, Taking Nizoral Tablets. Treatment?
Hi I have a skin fungus since I was seven years old. We call it lota . I have tried everything to get it to go but nothing seems to work. I have drunk sulphur, eaten sulphur and bathe with sulphur soap and nothing happened. When I was a teenager, I took a course of Tisane de Durbon and it left me completely but it was back withing three months. I usually take Nizoral tablets to control it and it works until it shows back up. Now it it really bad. My back is like a toad s and it itches a lot. What can I do?

Hi lotas skin fungus is very difficult to treat .use of itraconazole 100 mg daily once for 2-3 months or we can also use freshly prepared potassium nitrate solution.along with application of nizral ointment over the back and use of ketaconazole doap twice daily for bath.
