Hello mam.
You can try changing your body cleanser.
Don't use strong irritants like dettol directly over the genital area.
Continue miconazole cream as it may take a little longer for the infection to subside.
Add an anti fungal powder like mycoderm c, absorb after putting the miconazole cream.

If symptoms are still not relieved, consult your dermatologist.
