Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you have developed a fungal infection.
You need treatment with oral as well as topical anti fungals for permanent cure.
I treat such patients with ointment clotrimazole and oral Fluconazole tablet for a month.
I have seen good response with that.
You can try this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
