I've been dealing with a persistent Tinea infection on different parts of my body like the inner thighs, groin, belt area, and armpits for nearly 45 months now. I tried a treatment course for a month, taking Tab Prugo 10 once daily, Cap Canditral 100 once a day, and using Ointment Propyzole at night and Ointment Sebifin during the day. I repeated this twice with an increased dosage the second time. Each time I take the medicine, the infection seems to go away for a bit but then comes back once I've finished the course. Can you suggest a more effective treatment to finally get rid of this Tinea for good?

I'm experiencing a strange, random stinging sensation on my skin all over my body. I'm not exactly sure what kind of tests I need. Should I be looking at seeing a neurologist, or would a dermatologist be a better option for this kind of issue? Any guidance would be appreciated.
