[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern regarding recurrence of ringworm infection. The most common causes of recurring fungal infection include inadequate treatment, not maintaining personal hygiene and increased sweating in those areas which predispose to repeated infection. I am also suspecting antifungal resistance in your case which could be the reason for recurrence. I suggest you undergo a fungal culture and sensitivity for a skin sample from the groin area and get a prescription for an appropriate antifungal based on the test results. This treatment has to be continued till 6 weeks at least to avoid recurrence. Keep those areas clean and Chat Doctor. Avoid tight underwear and clothes to decrease the sweating in those regions. Thanks.
