How should fungal infections on the body and face be treated?
Asked by Male, 40 · 2 months ago
Fungal infections on the body and face are typically treated with topical antifungal creams, applied consistently for 2–4 weeks as directed by a doctor. For persistent or severe infections, oral antifungals may be necessary. Maintaining proper hygiene and avoiding the sharing of personal items can help prevent recurrence, and treatment should always be guided by a healthcare professional.
