Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have one red spot on my right hand, which is a fungal infection. Sometimes, it will grow in other body parts like stomach or legs, but then automatically disappears in 2 to 3 days. I am so worried. What to do? What is the treatment for this?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Have you applied any creams? Do you have a history of diabetes or hypertension? In the case of a fungal infection, you can try using Onabet (Sertaconazole) cream or Episert (Sertaconazole) cream or DK gel (Miconazole), twice a day. But if there is a recurrence, then oral antifungal medications should be considered. Please send images, so I can suggest some medicines.

Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I have seen the images (attachment removed to protect patient identity). There is no need for oral medication at present. I suggest you try applying the following after consulting your doctor.
If you notice new spots on other parts of the body, apply these creams.
