Fungal infection needs to be treated with both tablets and creams , just using creams will not clear the infection. Creams taken over the counter contains steroids and may increase infection further and also damage your skin .Family members staying in the house along with you are also prone to get infected, ask them if they have any similar symptoms , if they do everyone needs to get treated
Next Steps
Consult a dermatologist for evaluation and treatment
