Fluconazole doesnt work so well these days for fungal infection. You need better antifungal tablets. Don't use soap on the affected areas. Take consult from a good Dermatologist and follow up properly. I am.sure with proper treatment, it should come down. Do not use dermikem of as it contains steroid which is not supposed to be used for fungal infections.
