Hi XXXXXX

Thanks for writing in.

There must be some misunderstanding as 'coefene' does not stand any diagnosis.

It must be a short form or you misinterpreted the thing written.

You are given antifungal medication so you must have got tinea carporis i.e.ring worm infection of the body.

If its tinea carporis it requires atleast two weeks to show its effect.

Also if itching more you can take tablet Cetirizine twice daily.

If you can upload good quality photos of affected skin I will be further able to help you
confidently.also you can send them by email on YYYY@YYYY
with "attention dr XXXXXX"in subjectline.

Hope this helps.

Anticipating your response.

Hi XXXXXX

Ive gone through images.

It seems your doctor is right.You have got pityriasis versicolor on neck and tinea carporis on body.Both these are fungal infections.

Terbinafine tablets and mycospor is right treatment.

You can also use ABZORB powder and KZ soap for bathing these will help in faster clearing.

For itching you can take tablet allegra (180) twice daily.

Fungal infection take time to clear.1-2 months treatment may be required for complete cure.

Hope this helps.
