Broken skin- tinea versicolor treatment

Question

Asked for Male, 21 Years

I have tinea versicolor and the doctor has prescribed selenium sulphide shampoo and luliconazole cream. But I have developed broken skin and stretch marks on abdomen. Is this part of the treatment or a side effect? Should I continue the medicines or stop and consult the doctor again?
