Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Yes canestan is an antifungal cream. Canestan is easily available without prescription in many countries. It contains clotrimazole which is a effective antifungal medication. Miconazole is also an antifungal cream which could be used to treat fungal infections such as tinea, athletes foot, ringworm etc.
If you are not getting relieved with clotimazole or even miconazole cream you should consult a dermatologist or skin specialist for proper diagnosis & then treatment of the lesion. It might be something other than a fungal infection. Therefore it is not resolving with anti-fungal cream. Maintain hygiene as a fungal infection could spread to other areas of body as well as other persons.
