General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hey.

Welcome to HCM.

If I were your treating doctor, then i would have done few tests to rule out certain medical illness which can be the cause for recurrent fungal infection like Diabetes and Thyroid.

Also please try to maintain personal hygiene.

After bathing, try to completely wipe your body with soft towel. Never keep the private parts left wet.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any questions, then i will be happy to answer it.

Take good care.

Warm Regards.
Dr. Surender sharma.
