Brief Answer:
Further evaluation needed...

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

First of all, a few things need to be checked apart from just taking medicines. Personal hygiene maintenance is of utmost importance. Avoid putting up very tight clothing, continue daily bathing with luke-warm water, use soft cotton undergarments, and always change them regularly.

Secondly, in case of persistent fungal infection, a thorough clinical check-up and investigations need to be performed (to rule out any underlying medical disorders like diabetes, some auto-immune or viral disorders). For this, you should consult with an Internal medicine specialist also.

There has been a lot of advancement in the medical field, so before concluding about the inability of medications, it's important to find out the exact cause. Strict adherence to the advised medication regimen and completion is equally important.

Thorough systemic investigations along with skin scrapings and histopathological examination of the affected areas should also be done in case of persistence. If you feel, you can always take a second opinion of another Dermatologist for further management.

Hope to have been helpful!
