Doctors’ responses

Hi Sudharsan, if both Terbinafine and Itraconazole haven’t worked, this may be a case of resistant fungal infection. Here’s what you can do: 1. Recheck with dermatologist for: • Fungal culture or KOH test to identify the exact strain • Consider Griseofulvin or Fluconazole, which may work where others failed 2. Continue topical antifungal like Luliconazole or Sertaconazole twice daily for at least 4–6 weeks. 3. Strict hygiene: • Wash clothes, bedsheets, towels in hot water daily • Avoid reusing clothes without washing • Avoid steroid creams (they worsen the infection) 4. Treat family members or close contacts if they have any signs—re-infection is very common.
