I'm wondering how long I can safely continue using Fucibet Cream on my forehead for a skin infection. The cream has been helping, but it's been two weeks now, and there's still a bit of the infection left. Should I keep applying it, or would it be better to stop? If stopping is the best option, what else should I try?

u can continue Kojiglo gel also.
