Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. For fungal infection you have to use the medication for at least 2 weeks. Oral anti fungal agents will be helpful to stop recurrence. If you were my patient I would suggest oral anti fungal like fluconazole weekly once for 1 month along with luflin cream. Anti histamines like cetrizine can be used to control itching.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
