I'm living in Qatar and have been dealing with a fungal infection for about 11 months. I'm on treatment, but it doesn't seem to be working. Can you please give me some advice on what else I could try or if there's a different treatment approach I should consider?

For fungal infections that are not responding to treatment, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. However, in cases of persistent fungal infections, antifungal medications such as Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) or Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) may be prescribed. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the severity of the infection and your individual medical history. It's important to follow the treatment plan as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I'm dealing with this issue where I've got these white pus-filled bumps on my face, and they usually come in clusters. They're not just regular pimples but are more like pus-filled lesions, and some can be pretty painful. I did a bit of research, and it seems like it might be caused by staph bacteria. I had this same problem last year and was prescribed Minoz OD and Microdox, which cleared it up back then. Really need some advice now on how I can tackle this again. Any suggestions on what I should do?

White pus filled lesions on face signifies pimples. The medicine which was given to you last time is an antibiotic for bacteria causing pimples consult dermatologist
