Prognosis
Due to the broad spectrum of fungal species, the duration and prognosis of the disease also differ. Normally, the symptoms subside rapidly with local ointment treatment. However, one should not be deceived by this; it usually takes up to three weeks until the skin has completely regenerated and a new infection no longer occurs.
Unfortunately, there are also chronic fungal diseases, during the course of which the infection returns again and again and very persistently despite medical treatment. The therapy with tablets can then be carried out over several months to achieve freedom from symptoms.
