Fungal infection
I’ve been tested positive for fungal infection on my forearm and was treated by taking duracan and dermofix (same with my sister). A month later two more appeared on me and now my mum has one. We have a cat which was tested negative for fungal infection and is dewormed. A few days before my first one appeared we vacationed in a hotel and swam in the pool for about two days. What could this be from and how can we prevent it in the future ?

Fungal infection or ring worm...common in the skin folds...sweaty areas...seen as itchy, red or black spots mostly circular shape... avoid sweating, exchange of clothes and soap.. treatment depends on the severity and location of the fungal infection..so do direct online consultation by sending photos or meet me in my clinic for proper diagnosis and treatment.
