Fungal infection
I have been experiencing a persistent fungal infection on my scalp for an extended period. To manage the condition, I have taken fluconazole 150 mg on several occasions; however, despite this, the infection continues to recur. I am concerned about the recurring nature of this issue and would appreciate your medical advice on appropriate treatment options or further steps I should take to effectively resolve this problem.

Detailed history and images are required for proper diagnosis and management. Just using medication is not enough. Compliance is important. Other related medical conditions also affect the duration of treatment.
