Brief Answer:
Oral anti fungal medication will be helpful.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Oral anti fungal medication will be helpful in your condition. If you send a picture of it then it will be more helpful in identifying. Surfaz snow ( clotrimazole) won't be effective for some.

I would suggest ointments containing miconazole for local application and fluconazole tablet to take orally weekly once for 1 month to stop recurrence in such case.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
