I'm dealing with a really stubborn fungal infection on my back, stomach, and ear. I've been taking Itraconazole 200 mg for three months and it seemed to clear up, but now, about ten days after stopping the medication, the itching is back, especially on my back and around my ear. Could you suggest a treatment plan or medication to help me get rid of this for good?
