Possible fungal infection! Try miconazole cream!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the image. I have reviewed it fully with the three visible spots. These look like a possible fungal infection. I will suggest that you go ahead and try miconazole cream. Apply twice daily for 10days and let’s see what the result turns out to be. Follow up with more images after 5days of treatment.

I wish you well an hope to hear from you on the progress of this.
