I have a red, itchy fungal infection on my neck that is not improving with my previous treatment. What medicine or cream should I use?

Asked by Male, 35 · 6 days ago

Since your infection isn't improving, the fungus may be resistant to your previous treatment, or it might be a different skin condition. I highly recommend consulting a doctor or dermatologist for a proper diagnosis. Meanwhile, you can try an over-the-counter antifungal cream containing Terbinafine (Lamisil) or Clotrimazole, applying it to clean, dry skin twice daily. If you have already tried these, you may need a prescription-strength topical cream like Ketoconazole, or oral antifungal tablets. Keep the neck area clean and dry, avoid scratching, and do not use steroid creams, as they can make fungal infections significantly worse.
