I have a fungal issue on both legs with large round rings, but theres no itching, just redness. Ive been taking Fluka and Terbinafine. Is this the right treatment, or should I try something else?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection known as ringworm. Fluka (Fluconazole) and Terbinafine are commonly used antifungal medications. In addition to these, you can also consider using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole twice a day on the affected areas. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help the medication work effectively.
