Your question seems incomplete and is rather confusing. However, although not entirely clear, from your question it can be made out that you are looking for a remedy for some skin fungal infection.
Mycosis is the common medical term used for all fungal infections in the human body. Mycosis can be of several types and can affect our skin, nails, and scalp. However, the most common types of fungus infections affect the skin and we are confining our discussion here to skin fungal infection only. The common skin problems related to skin fungal infections are known as athlete's foot (the medical name is tinea pedis), jock itch (the medical name is tinea curis), and ringworm (the medical name is tinea corporis). Besides these, tinea faciei and tinea versicolor are two other types of skin fungal infections. Usually, the symptoms of skin fungal infection vary with the type of infection - athlete's foot will show itchy rashes between the toes; jock itch will show red, inflamed, and itchy rashes around the groin area; ringworm will show pink, circular-shaped, and itchy rashes on any part of the skin.
The fungal skin infection happens when the fungus finds a suitable environment to grow on the human skin. A compromised immune system, environmental and hereditary factors, certain medical conditions, and the use of antibiotics and corticosteroids are known to be some risk factors for skin fungal infection.
If you suspect that you have got a skin fungal infection, it is advisable to consult a doctor and get an accurate diagnosed. A potassium hydroxide (KOH) examination or fungal culture will be able to diagnose a skin fungal infection. It is better not to delay a proper medical examination because delaying a treatment will eventually make the infection more severe and more difficult to treat. Depending on your infection type and severity, the skin fungal infection may take weeks or months of treatment to get fully cured.
Treatment for skin fungal infection usually involves taking antifungal drugs - either orally or as topical ointments and proper skin care. Other than proper use of antifungal medications, there are no other ways to treat skin fungal infections. However, you can follow some steps to speed up the recovery of your skin infection. Always keep the infected area dry and clean and avoid scratching the skin with your nails.
As preventive measures, you should always dry your skin properly after a bath. You should also wear clean, comfortable, and fitting clothes.
