I've been dealing with this annoying fungal infection for a while now. It started on my inner thighs and has somehow spread to my face, neck, ears, and even my buttocks. I've tried going to several good hospitals and while the medicines seem to work at first, as soon as I stop taking them, the infection comes back within a few days. I'm really worried and not sure what to do. Any advice on how I can get rid of this for good?

In this case, I would recommend trying a combination antifungal cream that contains Clotrimazole and Betamethasone. This can help to both treat the infection and reduce inflammation in the affected areas. Additionally, it's important to keep the affected areas clean and dry, as fungi thrive in warm and moist environments. Make sure to wear loose-fitting clothing and change out of sweaty clothes promptly. I hope this helps in managing your fungal infection.
