I have what looks like a fungul infection on my underarm, that itched and gave off a bad smell. Ive tried Aloe and it hasnt helped. So i put some antifungal cream on it and now it smells horrible, worse than it was before. is it a sign its working or should i be worried?
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Fungal infections can 2 to 3 weeks to respond to treatment. If the infection is extensive you may need oral antifungal in combination to the topical antifungal. If this is the case then you may want to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment. If it is not extensive, or it is not possible to visit your doctor at this time, you would need to continue the antifungal cream. It is important to bear in mind it can take weeks for a response. I hope this helps
