Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As your doctor has diagnosed you of having tinea versicolor for which he has given antifungal medications to control your symptoms and improve your condition.

I want to reconfirm the diagnosis as you are not getting relief with these medicines. I would suggest you to consult the dermatologist and it should be diagnosed by physical examination.

For your symptoms I may suggest you to follow
1.Keep the area clean and dry by applying neosporin ointment.
2. Apply topical anti fungal cream over the lesion. Oint Ketaconazole is an excellent cream to use.
3. Tab Nystatin can be tried in place of flucanazole.
Thank you.
