I have severe tinea corporis, its embedded all over my body. I had been to a dermatologist and have been recommended to use fairness cream on the pigmented spots (all though there are light impressions all over my body) and high 500g every monday wednesday and friday for six weeks. Its been 4 days, and I feel it getting worse and is starting to show up on my neck now. I did a little research on the treatment and am skeptical about it, as it looks like a treatment for a bacterial not fungal infection. Kindly tell me if the treatment is right.
