Hello,
I have gone through your history it is suggesting me that you are having chronic fungal infection of the foot.
Yes what your dermatologist suggested is correct, all these fungal infections requires treatment for minimum of 12 weeks. As all drug are known to cause the side effect so is associated with this drug also.
But you have to take this medication along with this you have to maintain the hygiene of the foot with proper scrubbing in hot water.
Thank you
