I have a fungal infection on my face. What is the best treatment?
Asked by Male, 38 · 1 month ago
Facial fungal infections are usually treated with a topical antifungal cream such as clotrimazole or ketoconazole, as advised by a doctor. Avoid using steroid combination creams on the face and keep the area clean and dry. Please see a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment if there is no improvement within two weeks.
