So I've been dealing with this fungal infection on my mouth, forehead, belly, and thighs, and it's just so frustrating. Ive tried all sorts of creams like terbinafine, pendrum, and lulifine, but it just keeps coming back. I'm really worried about this and not sure what to do next. Any advice on how I can get rid of it for good?

Fungal infections can be stubborn and may require a different approach for effective treatment. I recommend trying a combination of oral antifungal medication along with topical creams for better results. You can take tablet Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4-6 weeks along with applying clotrimazole cream on the affected areas twice daily. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.
