hello, some of fungal infections do not respond to broad antifungal medications. They require specific treatment. If you have tried consulting multiple dermatologists already, i would suggest you to ask you dermatologist to take a sample from site of infection and get it examined in lab properly for the causative fugal strain so as to get the appropriate treatment for the same. Hope this helps you out. Thank you.
