View allI've been taking 12 Montek LC tablets every day for the past 3 years to deal with my itching problem. But whenever I try to stop them, the itching comes back immediately the next day. Are there any natural remedies I could try instead? Also, I'm a bit worried about whether using Montek LC for such a long time could be bad for my health.

I'm really worried about this recurring fungal infection I've had for the last 10 years. It mostly flares up on my thighs, and it's really frustrating. Do you have any suggestions on how to manage or prevent it?
This type of fungal infection in the thighs can be treated with antifungal medications. I recommend using **Clotrimazole cream** twice daily on the affected areas for at least 2-4 weeks. Additionally, taking **Fluconazole** tablets once a week for 4-6 weeks can also help in treating the infection. It is important to maintain good hygiene and keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent recurrence.
