Fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
It seems you have developed some fungal infection of skin called tinea corporis for which you have been prescribed Itraconzole.
Considering your age I suggest to get your liver function test checked before starting the drug.
Hope this was useful,
