Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is fungal infection.
You need treatment with a more potent antifungal such as Capsule itraconazole.
Ointment luliconazole along with itraconazole for 2 months should be helpful.
Itraconazole is taken in dosage of 100 mg twice daily and Luliconazole Ointment is to be applied twice daily.
This combination should help you.
You can meet your doctor and get these prescribed.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
