Hi flucanozol can cure the fungal infection but the recurrences are more it.the best drug to cure and prevent recurrences is terbinafine 250mg od for 14 days along with topical terbinafiine.u can also use canditral 100mg once daily for 14 days.use candid dusting powder daily to decrease recurrences.the spots ore no relation.only tinea spots changes into postinflammatory spots
