I have had a red spot on the front of my leg. Dr. said it was a fungus. Have been using a prescription topical cream. Does not go completely away. This has been going on for 2 to 3 months. Has anyone else ever had this problem.

Look up Tea Tree Oil,I had MRSA (staph infection) and all the meds the doctor gave me didnt work. I was told about tea tree oil and it worked.
you can buy it over the counter at any drug store.

What kind of prescription are you using? I had a spot of fungus one time and my doctor told me to use lamisil twice a day. She also told me to wash the spot with selson blue twice a week. It cleared up in no time. If this is a chronic problem you can try a natural solution. You can try using essential lavendar oil and just rub it on once a day. Check a health store for it. Also garlic supplements are supposed to be good for killing fungus.

The prescription is Clotrimazole which I have been using twice a day. It's a generic for Lotrimin. After doing some research on different websites, I do believe it is called Majocchi's Granuloma. It can come from shaving from bottom of leg to top so it's got something to do with the hair follicles. I am open to any suggestions. Thanks for your reply.

Hi Sundownsec:
I tried your suggestion of using Tea Tree Oil...used it twice a day and it is gone in one week. I can't believe it after using the prescription cream for over a month without any results. I appreciate it so much your replying to me with the suggestions. Thanks alot! Ruth
