Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. The treatment protocol that you followed was the standard one, but somehow it failed for your case! Therefore, we should think of some possibilities: recurrent infection, resistant infection and atypical fungal infections! So now you have to go for a skin scrapping test first preferably with fungal culture and take fluconazole based skin lotions for 4 weeks, and please revert to me with feedback! Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
