What treatment is effective for skin infections spreading from the stomach to the genital area that haven't responded to fluconazole, LCZ, or Candid total plus cream?
Asked by Female, 34 · 2 months ago
If a skin infection spreading from the stomach to the genital area doesn't improve with fluconazole, LCZ, or Candid Total Plus cream, it may be resistant or a different type of infection. Consult a doctor who can perform a skin test and prescribe the right medicine, which may be a topical cream or an oral antifungal. Avoid trying multiple creams on your own, as this can worsen the condition.
