Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely fungal infection. It is better have a local examination with your GP to confirm that.Some fungal infections won't respond to clotrimazole (canestan). In such case i advise ointments with combination of antifungal like miconazole and steroid like flucinolone. I also advise fluconazole tab orally weekly once for 1 month to stop recurrence. Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further queries.
