Brief Answer:
Oral and topical antifungals followed by antifungal dusting powder

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I have taken note of your query and I have understood it.

Recurrence is common in cases of fungal infections.
The factors that favor a recurrence are: inadequate treatment, inadequate duration of treatment and favorable/ conducive conditions for the fungus to grow.

Treatment must be with both topical as well as Oral antifungals and it should last at least 6 weeks for an adequate duration.

Favorable conditions that favor regrowth are: like being overweight and thus having deeper body folds which traps sweat and warmth and thus provides an Ideal environment for the fungus to regrow, specially in warm and humid weather in summers.
Diabetic patients too have frequent recurrences. You may take up a blood sugar test.

I suggest you to take an Oral antifungal e.g either tab. fluconazole or tab. terbinafine Or tab. itraconazole for at least 6 weeks.

Besides you must also use a topical antifungal e.g either terbinafine or sertaconazole or bifonazole etc, twice daily for 6 weeks minimum. May extend it for another 2 weeks.

Once the condition improves using an antifungal dusting powder in body folds would keep folds dry and thus help in preventing a relapse of infection, specially in tropical weather conditions like in XXXXXXX

General measures like bathing twice daily, wearing loose fitting cotton undergarments etc also help.

Kindly try at a local pharmacy near you Or visit a doctor in vicinity

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

Fluconazole is usually given as a 'once weekly dose' whereas terbinafine and itraconazole is 'once daily dose'.
Dosages of each of these oral antifungals are standard in all patients..
The duration of treatment with oral antifungals is 4-6 weeks.
Oral antifungals are prescription medications and therefore ideally you need to talk to a doctor in your vicinity for a written prescription.

Topical sertaconazole Or bifonazole Or terbinafine are also prescription topical antifungal medications. They are not available over the counter.
They need to be applied twice daily for 4-6 weeks.

Clotrimazole antifungal dusting powder can be used after 4-6 weeks of Oral and topical antifungals.
It would help prevent a relapse by keeping the folds dry and also being an antifungal would prevent the fungus to grow. It is available Over the counter.

Dear User, however, we cannot prescribe trade/ brand names of medicines Or dosages online.

The discussion meant on this forum is also not meant for prescription purposes.The reason being that we have not had an opportunity to examine you in person.

We can only guide you regarding the most likely reason for your medical condition based on the symptoms and the information provided by you & suggest you the way to go forward.

However, you may yourself check from nearby drug store/ chemist whether these topical &oral preparations which I had suggested would be available without prescription.
