Thanks for your query at HCM!
You are suffering from fungal infection. What is the site? Are you diabetic? Have you got tested for HIV?
I suggest you go for skin scrapping for fungal elments and fungal culture. Then you can get sensitivity testing by latest E- test strips which can best guide you for treatment.
Avoid sharing clothing, sports equipment, towels, or sheets.
Washing clothes in hot water with fungicidal soap.
Avoid walking barefoot.
Wash with an antibacterial and anti-fungal soap or one that contains tea tree oil, which contains terpinen-4-ol.
Avoid touching pets with bald spots as they are often carriers of the fungus.
You might have to take systemic anti-fungal drugs prescribed from a local doctor.
Remember good hygiene practices.
Take care!
