General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Fungal rashes can take 2 to 3 weeks to resolve because these types of rashes are slow responding.

This means that you have to use the anti fungal cream consistently for at least 2 weeks, possibly three.

If the topical agents are not effective then you may need to use oral medication.

I hope this helps
