Dr B is the best
Dr. B team responded quickly to my online consultation. I had a horrible undiagnosed eyelid dermatitis from an unknown allergy. I would have had to wait several days to get a referral from my primary care for a dermatologist. I'm also currently out of state, making it even more difficult to see a doctor. I can't believe for only $15, Dr B diagnosed and sent a rx to my pharmacy and within just a few hours, I had my rx. The medication prescribed was spot on and I finally have relief in less than 24hrs. I will definitely use DrB in the future.

Absolutely real and absolutely amazing!
I was a bit skeptical that a $15 online assessment would work but I was wrong! This is the best online Dr service I have ever found- the cost is a huge bonus. The huge amount of illnesses they treat is astounding. I had a severe sinus infection and without insurance would have cost a fortune at the ER. Within 3 hrs I had my Rx for antibiotics in hand. Today was my last day on them and my infection is gone. The dr followed up with me via email a few days after which I’ve never had an online platform do. A 5/5 for me!!!

This online health service is the best
This online health service is the best. I did a health assessment and answered some questions and also said what my problem was and right away was contacted by a doctor who wrote me some antibiotics that was sent to a pharmacy of my choice. The best part was that they showed the prices of the prescription at different locations so there was no surprises. Got my medicine the same day. They also have a way for low income to qualify without having to pay. The whole experience was amazing. Fast. Transparent. Helpful. Followed up to see how I was doing. I will definitely be using Dr. B again and telling all my family and friends. Thank you so much!

Wow so easy!
Wow so easy! I was traveling and developed a virus. A friend recommended Dr B. After an easy Q&A process via text I was able to get the prescription I needed. Quickly! I'll be back!
★★★★★
So amazing
So amazing! I was recently dismissed and my insurance was discontinued so I had lost my income and insurance! They were able to help me with a uti I was experiencing for free and I am truly grateful! I feel much better!! Thank you!!
★★★★★
Super quick and inexpensive
Super quick and inexpensive. I paid $21 including meds and had my prescription about an hour after signing up on the site. I'd initially reached out to my doctor, but they wanted me to come in for labs... I've had UTIs for 20 + years and know when I have one. This is such a simple quick solution for simple UTIs.

Great Experience
Great communication, easy process, great price. I got a 90 day prescription for my BP medicine. Very convenient. Much better experience than with the other internet Doc.
★★★★★
Excellent Care and Super Convenient!
I had a great experience with Dr. B and their staff! The online visit was smooth and easy from start to finish. I was especially impressed that Dr. B followed with me after hours - something I honestly did not expect. When I ran into an issue with Walmart filling my prescription, Dr. B immediately suggested switching pharmacies. Within an hour, I was able to pick it up from Walgreens with no hassle. The fact that the doctor even communicated with me through text messages really stood out - that's never happened before in my experience with Healthcare. The visit was very affordable, which is a huge plus for me since I don't have health insurance. I'll definitely be using this online service again. Highly recommend!

Fungal Infection Questions

About Fungal Infection

What types of fungal infections do you treat?

We provide several types of antifungal treatment for a variety of common infections of the skin, including ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) and jock itch (tinea cruris). We also treat types of fungus that affect fingernails or toenails (onychomycosis).

What causes fungal infections?

Infections occur when certain types of harmful fungi—tiny microorganisms all around us—come in contact with the body. Exposure to fungi is more common in warm, damp environments. Infections can spread through direct contact with infected shoes, socks, towels, swimming pool perimeters or locker rooms.

How long does a fungal infection last?

Fungal infections on the skin can take a few days or a few weeks to get better. It’s important to take your antifungal medicine for as long as it’s prescribed. (The infection may still be there even after the rash improves.)

Onychomycosis—or fungal infections of the nail—can be more difficult to treat. It may take up to a year of treatment to get rid of the infection, and the infection can come back even with treatment.

Do I have a fungal infection or…?

Several other conditions have similar symptoms. These include:

  • Psoriasis
  • Eczema
  • Lichen planus
  • Seborrheic dermatitis, including cradle cap
  • Trauma or injury
  • Some kinds of skin cancer

A medical provider can help you understand what might be causing your symptoms and help you find the right treatment.

What are the prescription treatments available for fungal infections?

A range of topical fungal infection medicines are available as creams, lotions, gels, nail lacquers and shampoos.

How do topical antifungal treatments work?

Some antifungal medications eliminate fungi. Others prevent cell growth and multiplication. Fungal infections differ from bacterial infections—and antibiotics can’t treat them.

What are common antifungal treatment side effects?

Side effects of antifungal medications may include itching, burning or redness at the application site. In rare cases, these medications can cause serious side effects like liver damage (jaundice). They may also cause severe skin reactions (like peeling). Talk to your medical provider right away if these occur.

Who is at risk for fungus?

Anyone can develop a fungal infection—but people with a weakened immune system are at greater risk. (Like those with HIV or cancer, organ transplant recipients and anyone taking immune-suppressing medications.) These infections can also occur more frequently in people who sweat a lot (hyperhidrosis). And nail infections are more common in people with poor circulation. (Like those with peripheral vascular disease or diabetes.)

How long does it take for antifungal medications to work?

It depends on the type of fungal infection and treatment. Many medications improve skin infections in around a week. Most infections clear entirely in two to four weeks. But some infections in the nail can take longer to resolve. Some of these medications are prescribed for 48 weeks or more, which is how long it takes for healthy nails to grow and replace infected ones.

How can I get a fungal infection prescription online?

Some fungal skin infections require prescription treatment. Dr. B is here to help. Our online medical service guides you through a health assessment covering your symptoms and medical history. (No video call required!) A licensed provider will then review your information. If they recommend a ketoconazole topical cream prescription or other kind of treatment, they’ll send a prescription to your pharmacy. And if you feel overwhelmed by your options? Your doctor or medical provider can help you understand which medication will get you back on track.

How much does a fungal infection treatment cost?

Consultation: A virtual medical consultation for fungal infection costs $15, which is lower than most doctor copays. Currently, we don’t submit medical consultation claims to insurance companies. But you can use insurance for any resulting prescription at your pharmacy.

Medication: Dr. B only charges for the medical consultation. When medications are prescribed, we let you choose the most affordable or convenient pharmacy to fill the prescription. Your medication prices will vary depending on your insurance coverage and whether the drug is a brand or generic.

Do you accept insurance?

Right now, we don’t submit medical consultation claims to health insurance companies. But you can use insurance for any resulting prescriptions at your pharmacy.

How do refills work?

We’ll send you a reminder for an online assessment when it’s time for your next refill.
