Q: I had some fungal infection on my scalp so my doctor gave me some drops called flucot skin lotion (.01%). I was advised to apply 30 drops on my scalp twice a day for 15 days. Its been 8 days and in between I applied around 50-60 drops 2-3 times by mistake. Have I damaged my scalp further?

A:Flucot is not given for fungus and an increased use of the drops for sometime does not matter.
