I have a persisting fungal infectiin since 8 months now, the jock itch. It started from the groin area and later spread to areas on my ass, inner thighs, even the belt region (below torsoe) and under my breasts, possibly on the nipples too (there were spots on the nipple and they used to itch). There used to be continuous itching and i have tried a lot of medicines, both tablets and topical creams. To mention some: clotrimazole, candid-b, cloben-g, onabet, sarfaz sn, sebifin. And internally i took fluconazole tablets. I used to apply antifungal powders too, but i stopped on the advice of some doctors that it clogs pores. Out of the above mentioned medicines, thw ointment sebifin seemed to be most effective. It worked wonders and alleviated the problem to much extent. However there are still signs of the problem that persist in all areas. It is not as chronic as before but it has not left completely. There are many marks on my body and they start to be itchy in short intervals. The areas have also turned dark and look bad. I am very upset with all of this as the problem just doesnt seem to go. Seeing my skin turning dark, i stopped applying the ointment. Currently am not undergoing any kind of treatment, but i want to get rid of this fungal infection once and for all. Kindly suggest me what can be a permanently-alleviating and relieving treatment for this. I also think that my skin immunity has deteriorated very much in this long time. I continue to have red patches on my face and some red spots that itch all throughout my body (on the waist or legs, etc). All of this has really put me in a very bad state. I want to be free of this and healthy again. Please help.
