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
