  5. Hi Doctor, My name is Shivam Gupta, and I'm a student. Last year, around March or April, I developed red spots on my thigh that seemed like a fungal infection. I consulted my uncle, who is a doctor, and he recommended Lobet GM Cream. The spots went away, but they came back after a while. After two months, I consulted another doctor who prescribed Candiforce 200 Tablets, F.M. 24 Tablets, and Serta Cream for the fungal infection. I used the cream for 1-2 months, and everything seemed fine, but now the infection is coming back again. It appears sometimes on my thigh, hand, stomach, and even on my head. I also consumed carom seeds for some digestive issues, but the fungal infection still persists. What should I do to get rid of this for good? How can I find relief from these recurring fungal infections?
