Hello lybrate-user, scalp fungal infection need oral antifungal along with lotion and shampoo as it is deep infection which does not respond to only creams or lotions. Outer border is active border of fungus and it spreads from there scratching can spread fungal infection to nails. However for proper diagnosis and treatment prescription I would like to see clear pictures showing affected areas. Also mention your weight and if you are allergic to any medicine when you send a query for consultation. All the best. Take care.
