Hello dear ,
I read and understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist answering your concern.

Deep and severe fungal infection never treated in a easy way. It requires some time to cure. Example fungal infection of nail requires almost four to five months to heal.

So in my advice you should continue your treatment with oral fluconazole and others. Please do not get discourage if result is not getting fast. You should wait and continue the treatment.

If you stop the treatment than the fungal infection becomes resistant one and wont respond to your current antifungal treatment.

Please avoid injury to infected site. Good hygiene maintenance with frequent cleaning is necessary. Please aboid excessive sweating to the site.

Please wear cotton clothes as it is helpful for treating infection.

You can ask me for further clarification here or you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you,
