Tinea manuum on hand
Hai i’m suffering from fungal infection on my hand. Last 2 years saya pergi jumpa a dermatologist and i was diagnosed with tinea manuum. I was given daktarin and also oral prescription and later on my infection was gone. On April i started getting my fungal infection again on my hand. I started using daktarin again for 3 months later on i change to freederm gel and ecocort and use those for 2 months. The infection at some are is healed but it is also starting to spread my other fingers
