Hello and welcome to HCM,
Fungal infection is managed with anti-fungals.
However, if the fungal infection is recurrent, systemic or oral treatment for the infection is required.
The cause for recurrent fungal infection has also to be found.
Recurrent fungal infection can occur due to low immunity, high blood glucose, etc.
Incomplete treatment can also lead to recurrent fungal infection.
Thus, I suggest you to get blood glucose level checked to rule out diabetes mellitus infection.
Thanks and take care
