I've been struggling with a fungal infection on my penis for the past 1.6 years. I've tried using Surfaz cream, which seems to help for a few weeks, but the infection always comes back. I'm really frustrated with this recurring issue. Can you please tell me if there's a permanent solution to get rid of it for good?
