How Treatment Should I Take To Get Rid Of Jock Itch And Regain The Original Skin Color ?

Hi I suffered from jock itch ( tinea cruris ) and still am. I have been to four doctors seeking their medical help. Non of the medication ( oral medication, antifungal creams etc.) I received from them is working. I have also tried home remedies ( selenium sulphide,head and shoulders,tea tree oil etc.) and here as well nothing is working. What should I do to get rid of the fungus and get my skin (area that is affected by the fungus) back to its normal colour? (the fungus is all over my inner thighs,groin and stretches right down into the buttocks )
