hello user,
Sometimes the locally applied cream not work in resistant cases, so you are advised to take some oral antifungal medicines, which can be prescribed by a General Physician available nearby.
Most of the STD's requres treatment of both male and female partners, so you are also advised to get drugs for your partner too !!
As recurrent candida infection is also seen in immunocompromised patients, you are also advised to get a thorough blood screen done.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards,
Dr Hari Om Chandrakar

hi
Recurrent fungal infections are due to diabetes, inadequate treatment of infection or contracting it from your partner. Please get Fasting Blood Sugar done and use treatment for longer duration under the guidance of your doctor. Please get youe partner checked ,if you are sexually active. Keep the penis and prepuce clean with running water and then dry the area.
