      Its certainly worth a try.As well as using the cream, try washing the area with an anti dandruff shampoo with selenium sulphide as the active ingredient. Wash thoroughly ,leave the shampoo on for a minute or two,and wash off. Dry thoroughly and then rub in the cream. Try to do this before sleeping. Re apply the cream in the morning. You have to be persistent.

      If this doesnt clear the patches in 2 weeks, or makes them worse, then its probably not fungal and you must stop.
