Brief Answer:
Oral antifungal therapy

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can understand your concerns.

This certainly seems to be resistant fungal infection.

For this, I generally recommend oral pills of Terbinafine once daily for 4 week.
Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe the same to you.

Thank you
