Brief Answer:
Regarding recurring fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

The most common cause of repeated or recurring fungal infection is inadequate treatment which leads to reactivation of fungal infection within a few days of completing the treatment. I would like to know what all treatments you have been taking. Sometimes OTC antifungal creams which are steroid based just reduce the symptoms of fungal infection and as soon as the treatment Iis discontinued the disease flares again. Recurring fu gal infection is best managed with an oral antifungal like either terbinafine or itraconazole along with topical antifungals like luliconazole cream or amorolfine cream. The duration of treatment ought to be a bit longer i.e 6-8 weeks instead of the usual 4 weeks.

Take care. Hope to assist you further with your concern.

Regarding fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
I don't have any special reference for a doctor in your area but you can google for a dermatologist who is an MD ( skin ), near your region and start treatment as per instructions. Make sure that you complete the entire duration of treatment which is usually a bit longer in case of recurring fungal infection (6 - 8 weeks instead of the usual 2-4 weeks). You must take one of the oral antifungals I suggested i.e either itraconazole or terbinafine along with one of the topical antifungals e.g luliconazole cream or amorolfine cream.
Fungal infection is limited to the skin and does not cause ant internal organ involvement.
Take care
