Hi there Young man.
A more detailed in-depth evaluation of your problem will be needed for a clear management and treatment pathway since it's been 2 years !!
Detailed medical, personal and family history plus some good quality digital pics & KOH test + fungal culture 🧫 may be needed as the doctor decides.
It can be handled and there is nothing to stress or worry about.
A detailed Online Consultation initially is your best possible recourse for a clear and precise prescription.
Good luck and Godspeed 🙏

Treatment of Fomites and family members as required to prevent recurring issues
