Hi there.
I take it your problem has just not gone away inspite of various treatments
To help you further, a more detailed history of the various treatments and reasons for failure are required. Also required will be pics as to what it looked like 5 months back and at intervals after that.
The diagnosis itself may be in doubt.
Have any tests like skin scraping for fungal elements been done?
Any culture 🧫 Sensitivity test?
Anyone else in your family or friends circle ailing from a similar problem?
Any 🐶 😺 pets you are in contact with?
Any hobbies like gardening etc that involve contact with soil?
It all depends on the type of fungus/mould and other factors surrounding you and a detailed history.
Next Steps
Kindly jot down answers to all the questions raised above and Consult me Online or on a video call once and should be able to put this to rest once and for all
Health Tips
Hygeine and special care of Fomites/Clothes etc is important... not just treatment of fungal infection.
Continuation of treatment for at least 1-2 weeks post complete clearance is advocated.
Choice of Antifungal agents depend on your individual history, geographical location and availability of meds and socioeconomic factors.

Detailed history and clear images are required for correct diagnosis and treatment. Fungal infections take more time to resolve. But consistency is important during treatment. Proper counselling is important.
