Hi Sir,
Firstly the diagnosis needs to be confirmed. If it’s a fungal infection you need to take a proper course of oral medication and creams for a specific duration.
Improper medication and stopping of the medication before the infection is completely gone is one of the main reasons for recurrence.
Further you need to be evaluated for underlying health conditions such as Diabetes.
Next Steps
Consult with me for further evaluation and detailed medication
Health Tips
Take bath twice a day. Wear washed clothes after bath. Don’t wear semi dried clothes. Wear loose fitted cotton clothes. Don’t share towels or clothing.
Start correct medication as soon as possible to stop the spread of infection and further complications.
