I've been dealing with this fungal infection and ringworm on my stomach and neck for what feels like forever, almost 45 months. It's really bothering me, and I can't seem to get rid of it. I've tried a few things, but nothing seems to work long-term. What could be causing it to stick around for so long, and do you have any advice on what I should try next?

Chronic Fungal infection needs long-term treatment, personal hygiene measures are most important to cure this disease, practice special care towards affected area.
