Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can add a oral antifungal drug along with Lotriman Ultra cream under your Dermatologist's advice.
I will give you some measures to prevent recurrence of fungal infection:

1. Avoid over the counter creams for fungal infection. It might contain steroid which can damage the skin.
2. Avoid tight fitting clothes.
3. Always sun dry your inner wear before wearing.
4. Apply antifungal cream over the lesion and also apply over the normal skin surrounding the rash (up to 2 cm around rash)

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
