Hello. Thank you for writing to us.

I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have viewed the Image

Topical antifungal alone may not be effective.
I suggest you to also take capsule itraconazole 200mg (Cap Itrasys 200mg) once daily for 2weeks. In addition you may use a topical antifungal e.g luliconazole 1% cream (lulifin cream), twice daily.
