Are you sure you have a fungal infection? It would be good to know what type of fungus as well. Your options are either to apply anti-fungal creams like tolnaftate (tinactin) or terbinafine (lamisil) or take oral anti-fungal medications like sporonox or lamisil. Both oral or topical treatments take quite a while. At least 3-4 weeks or even more depending on the severity. Always keep the affected area dry because fungus love moist dark areas. Also, consult you dermatologist or family physician before taking any medication.

You need to go to the doctor or the pharmacist and speak to them. There are different creams on the market and powders too to treat such an affliction.
everyone is different and requires different treatments.
Meantime, do not share your soap, towels or clothes with anyone. It can be spread if it is fungal.
