Skin discolouration that continues even after antifungal treatment may happen for several reasons. Sometimes the fungal infection clears, but the skin colour takes months to return to normal. In other cases, the condition may not be fungal at all and could be related to eczema, pigmentation disorders, allergic reactions, steroid cream effects, diabetes-related skin changes, or chronic skin inflammation. Elovera IMF and multiple antifungal creams may temporarily reduce itching or scaling, but repeated use without confirming the diagnosis can delay proper treatment. A detailed skin examination may help determine whether the remaining marks are due to active infection, post-inflammatory pigmentation, or another skin condition. Doctors may sometimes advise skin scraping tests, Wood?s lamp examination, or biopsy if discolouration is persistent. Management depends on the exact cause and may include medicated creams for pigmentation, moisturisers, sun protection, antifungal tablets, or treatment for underlying inflammation. Avoiding unnecessary steroid-containing creams is important because they can worsen some skin problems over time. Spreading patches, pain, skin thickening, or colour changes that become rapidly worse should be evaluated carefully.
