[|AI|]  Hello. Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor Judging from the treatment history, it seems you have an issue with fungal infection, and you are troubled by its frequent recurrence of the other most common reasons for recurrence is inadequate treatment I were to treat a case such as you, my general advice would have been to be complaint/regular with the treatment till the total recommended duration of treatment. The normal recommended duration of treatment is 4-6 weeks for both oral and topical antifungals. If I was the treating doctor I would suggest you to take a repeat course of oral+topical antifungals, for 4-6 weeks and thereafter continue with an antifungal dusting powder to prevent a recurrence. One important step in preventing a recurrence, after an apparently complete cure, is to continue using an antifungal dusting powder (e.g. clotrimazole dusting powder) in the groin folds; specially during hot and sweaty weather conditions. An OTC oral antihistamine e, g cetirizine would provide you symptomatic relief from itching. Antifungal dusting powder not only keeps the folds Chat Doctor. I would suggest that you also discuss in more detail about these points with your treating dermatologist. The most important part of treatment is to be compliant with the prescribed treatment (oral and topical) and to take it for the recommended duration. Regards
