Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you are having fungal infection for some time for which you have visited your doctor and got some treatment.

The groin and anal area are prone for fungal infection as it is a normal commensals of this area which is kept under control by the helpful organisms, whenever there is a change in the environment either by the change in the temp, other infection or poor hygiene will invoke the growth of fungus and produces the symptoms.

For your condition I would like to suggest
1.Keep the area clean and dry by applying neosporin powder.
2.Topical antifungal cream like ketaconazole
3.Single oral dose of Diflucan 150mg.
These measures will help you to control the infection and makes you comfortable.
