I've been dealing with a fungal infection and itching around my waist and private area for the past two months. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm worried it hasn't gone away yet. I've tried keeping the area clean and dry, but it doesn't seem to be improving. Is there something else I should be doing, or could this be a sign of something more serious? What treatments would you recommend?
