Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Fungal rashes can take a few weeks to respond to medication.
You can consider continuing the use of the topical anti fungal but if the rash is extensive and spreading an oral antifungal may be needed.
The oral anti fungal would require a prescription from your doctor.
Examples of topical antifungals are ketoconazole, miconazole, econazole
The short term use of an topical steroid may reduce any itching that may be present.
I hope this helps
