Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

I advice you should do culture and sensitivity from the affected area skin.

This will guide us regarding the possible pathogen and it's sensitivity pattern.

Applying cream as per the report will not only cures you but can also cures you properly.

Clotrimazole and betamethasone cream is antifungal agent and can be used in fungal infections.

If the infection is not the fungal one, we can't treat it with this cream.

Please wash the affected area regualry. Maintain good local hygiene.

Please start the treatment before the condition become worse.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
