Brief Answer:
fluconazole for oral thrush for 4-6 weeks

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
I have read your query.
I have seen the attached photographs also.
I understand your concern.
Regarding your first query, if the oral mucosa affected with oral thrush if in contact with the decayed tooth, then decyaed tooth may be the cause. Else it is more common in Diabetics, improper hygiene, smokers, immunocompromised people.
For candida mouth, oral fluconazole is the drug of choice. It needs to be continued for atleast 4-6 weeks for complete cure.
You should avoid spicy oily food. Rather take food rich in lactobacillus like curd.
The stretch marks are very well visible in the photographs. They can occur due to sudden weight gain or loss, due to application of topical steroids or intake of oral steroids .
As you have mentioned that you were dignosed with intertrigo, so you might be having excess sweating that makes you feek sticky. Excess sweating predisposes for fungal infection.
You should regularly uae dusting powder so that it can absorb the sweat and prevent infection.
Wear loose cotton clothes.
I hope I am able to answer all your questions.
If you have any further query, you may ask me. Stay healthy.
