Hi.fungal infection of the cheek is called as tinea facei.it is a fungal infection caused by superficial dermatophyte species.it presents as erythematous annular lesion with central clearing.continue terbiforce for 15 days but stop lobate g ointment as it causes more recurrences of the disease.along with terbiforce use atarax 25 mg at night and terbinaforce ointment over the lesions
