Is It Alright To Use Daktarin Cream Until The Fungal Infection In Completely Cured?

I was diagnosed a fungal infection on my bottom crease. The dermatologist prescribed me a mixture of interzol, lotasbat, and carmed for topical use. I have used it for 12 days (before seeing the doc i used daktarin cream for about 2 weeks and as it did not really show improvement i went to the doc). Now it doesn t itch and the skin looks improved, the border starts to disappear. Is it okay if keep using it until the infection is completely gone or should i stop? Thank you
