HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may want to consider a swab of the discharge to identify the specific type of fungi present and determine what antibiotics would work best.
You may also want to screen for conditions that may affect your immune system and prevent healing such as diabetes , autoimmune disease.
Oral antifungals such as fluconazole or itraconazole may also help.
I hope this helps
