Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.

For fungal infection, I would suggest you to take oral terbinafine 250mg tablet (Zimig tablet), once daily for 2 weeks. In addition you may take a tablet of cetrizine 10mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching. Topically you may use terbinafine 1% cream (Zimig cream), twice daily, for 2 weeks.
