Brief Answer:
Regarding recurrent fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

I suggest you to use Ketoconazole 2% cream e g either Nizral or Phytoral cream, twice daily for 6-8 weeks. Along with it I suggest you to take 200mg of oral Itraconazole Capsule once every night, also for 6-8 weeks. You may also take an oral antihistamine e.g cetirizine 10mg tablet once a day for a few days for symptomatic relief from itching. Use an antifungal body wash regularly e.g Dersil AF body wash or Nidos AF body wash for bathing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
