Detailed Answer:

Hi

I have gone through your uploaded photos

Emuaid ointment contains antifungal only

You can apply ointment that contains betamethasone, Clioquinol (Iodochlorhydroxyquin), Gentamicin and Tolnaftate for 7 days

It will work better in your case.

Just apply it locally twice daily

This cream helps in the treatment of multiple skin diseases, allergic conditions and rheumatic disorders among many.

When applied topically, the cream acts against the inflammation by improving the immune system from within and helps fight off the inflammation.
