Repeated fungal infection
Every year since last 2 years i get tinea corporis infection during summer and monsoon months. It's in the same spot everytime - elbow crease and armpits. Every year i successfully treat it with creams after long consultations. I have started keeping my clothes in plastic bags, very dry and I iron before use. Despite all this fungal comes again in the same months, at the same place. Any particular reason for this ?
