Castor nf will never cure your infection it will give temporary relief. It has steroid which just suppresses body reaction and inflammation but worsens and delays the response of antifungal. Stop using castor nf or any other over the counter creams

Hello. From your history it sounds like you have an incompletely treated fungal infection, which can lead to treatment resistance. Some fungal infections take months to resolve and stopping treatment abruptly can cause recurrence. Complete history and photographs are required for better diagnosis and management.
Next Steps
Pl connect online for further management
Health Tips
Don’t use and don’t stop medications without consulting a dermatologist for any fungal infection. Use loose cotton clothes, bath twice daily, wash your clothes and inner wear separately, moisturise.

Detailed history and clear images are required for correct diagnosis and treatment. Fungal infections take time to resolve completely. Not just what you use, how you use is important. Treatment compliance is very important. You need to be counselled regarding fungal infection, treatment and few precautions to prevent future recurrences.
Next Steps
kindly book online consultation for proper management
