I've been dealing with this annoying fungal infection on my back for about 6 months now, and I'm in the UAE. I'm using TRAVOCORT cream as the doctor recommended, and it seems to work for a few days, but then the itching and irritation come back. I've noticed the symptoms seem to get worse when I eat non-veg foods like chicken, fish, or mutton, which is really frustrating. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how I can get some relief? It's becoming really uncomfortable.

To address this issue, I recommend trying an antifungal medication like Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) in tablet form, along with a topical antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) to apply on the affected area. Additionally, it is important to maintain good hygiene, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid consuming foods that seem to trigger your symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
