Answered by Specialist Doctor I Nguyen Thi Thu - Department of Medical Examination, Vinmec Times City International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “A method of definitive treatment of fungus on the instep? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Because skin lesions in different stages of the same disease may require treatment with different drugs, the specialty of Dermatology is that the examination must conducted directly. The doctor needs to directly observe and touch the lesions to assess the extent before ordering more tests (if any, such as blood count test, skin prick test,...). Your self-described medical condition may be misleading or not informative enough for a doctor to advise.
So with your case it is necessary to visit directly with a Dermatologist for specific diagnosis and treatment.
If you still have questions about the definitive treatment of fungus on the instep, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
