Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Diflucan is the right treatment. You should continue it under your doctors guidance.

Anal fungal infection can only be possible if you have severe immunocomprmise state.

I suggest you should check your HIV and diabetes status. If it's HIV immediately treatment for HIV is necessary.

Please also apply candiderm ointment this is also helpful for you locally.

Anal region is potential dirty site. If you maintain good hygiene there than infection can be cured early.

Other house hold remedies won't work like garlic and other.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
