I'm dealing with jock itch that originally cleared up with miconazole cream, but now it's left me with these annoying dark patches. The issue is whenever I sweat, the jock itch seems to flare up again. The dark patches turn red and swollen. What can I do to keep this from happening all the time? It's really frustrating.

I've been struggling with a fungal infection on my penis for the past 1.6 years. I've tried using Surfaz cream, which seems to help for a few weeks, but the infection always comes back. I'm really frustrated with this recurring issue. Can you please tell me if there's a permanent solution to get rid of it for good?

Maintain personal hygiene like take bath twice daily and wear clean clothes etc., visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment which includes oral and topical antifungals.
