I've been dealing with a fungus patch on my skin. I saw a doctor and they gave me TERBITOTAL 500 and Funzi NM cream. These seemed to help but only temporarily. I really want to completely get rid of it. Can you please advise on what I should do?

You have to use the medications as a course as advised by your doctor, usually after starting the medications the infection fades but to eliminate it you have to continue the medicines for specific time period.and hygiene practices is more important.

I've noticed that a lot of my hair is falling out, especially in the middle of my head where there's now a round patch with only a few hairs left. I'm 42 and really worried about losing more hair and going completely bald. Could you suggest any treatments to help save what's left? I'm based in Mumbai.
