Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Recurrence of fungal infection especially if not well treated(duration) is possible.Also, you may get treated and get exposed again to a source of infection.I will suggest you see your Doctor to try both topical and systemic anti-fungal agents.You may have to take treatment for as long as indicated by your Doctor even if symptoms subside earlier.You may get better results with these.Also, good body/hair hygiene may help prevent recurrence.
Hope this will help you
Best regards
