How to treat a persistent fungi infection on my foot that does not respond to topical creams like miconazole? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Hi,

The symmetrical appearance of the rash and its well-demarcated borders suggests eczema instead of a fungal infection.

An allergic contact dermatitis component either due to footwear or topical medicaments needs to be considered. A patch test may be needed to confirm this.

A full evaluation by your doctor will be required to determine the most likely cause and prescribe the appropriate treatment for you.

Hope this helps!
