I understand your concern . This is common condition affecting active individuals who sweat a lot around armpits and groin area . Many people use steroid containing combination like fourderm, panderm cream or bentovate c cream. Fungus would get resistant following such applications.
Avoid tight fitting garments to control the sweat and appropriate 2 months of oral antifungal course would help in eliminating it completely.
Of late we are saying adult onset diabetes cases as well, in such case we go for certain blood tests as well. Do connect for further management!
