Fungus, whats most effective way to treat them?

Fungus, whats most effective way to treat them?

Hello, name sammy, my question is following:

I have few white spots on my face which doctor told me its fungus.  I been using  "Clotrimazole and Betamethasone Dipropionate Cream UPS 1%/0.05% (base)"  for past 3 weeks n hasn't help, the spots increase a little?  Any advice doctor or maybe another different medicine that i can tell my dermantology about? I like to get advice from more than just one doctor.  

Also what can be the cause of fungus growing on my neck, mostly every summer?  Any ways i can prevent it or change something to help get rid of them?

Thank you very much for your help and time, hope u have wonderful day

Sammy

Hi Sammy.  My son was playing soccer outside alot during the summer and he developed several white spots on his face.  I researched it on the web and determined that it was probably caused by a really common fungus (can't remember the name).  The fungus falls from the hair (didn't really see much going on in his hair, just a few flakes that looked like very mild dandruff) and onto the person's skin.  Then it blocks the sun from getting to the skin, yada, yada, yada.. The is a selsun blue shampoo that you can buy to get rid of  the fungus but to tell you the truth we just used head and shoulders shampoo a few times.  The spots on his face cleared up in a few weeks.  I didn't think it would work but it really did.  Maybe it's worth a try for you.  Good luck.
