I am 24 years old male. I recently developed fungus on chest and my doctor advised me to take Syntran 100 mg for 3 weeks, twice a day along with that I apply Lulifin cream 2 times. It's the third week going and though the fungus on chest has gone but now it's developing on my face and arms. What should I do? I am also taking Sotret medicine 30 mg at night along with Syntran as I was on that medication before. Do I need to change tablets? How can I stop the fungus to spread? Also if this fungus is transferable to others? Fungus till now is white powdered substance. please help me out!

Fungal infection spreads through clothes. Hence you should wash your clothes separately. Sweating can increase this infection. The medication you are taking is right. You will need to continue the medication for few more weeks even after the infection has decreased. Also use powder to keep the skin dry in armpits and groins.
