Was this medico a dermatologist? Many fungal infections also require oral medicines without which they don't really get treated properly. And maybe that's why you haven't had a proper result. Oral tablets require a prescription. So I suggest that you visit a dermatologist near you . I'm sure you will benefit.

Thanks for the query. Fungal infection is becoming an increasing problem due to rampant usage of antifungals. Please see a dermatologist as some extra medications are coprescribed many a times to treat. If needed a simple skin test can also be done. Till then use only OTC anti-allergic medications to control itching. Personal hygiene should be good. Wear loose fitting clothes. Hope it helps you. Dr MK Agarwala
