I'm really worried about my leg fungal infection. It's been 10 days, and it just keeps getting worse. I've been trying clocip powder, but it's not helping. What should I do next?

It seems like the fungal infection on your leg is not responding to the current treatment. I recommend trying an antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole 1% twice a day for at least 2 weeks. In addition, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton clothing to help the healing process.
