Hello,
Thank you for your query.
If you are having such frequent episodes then it means either your being misdiagnosed or the treatment is not upto the mark.
I would also suggest some investigations like blood sugar, fungal culture etc.
consult some other doctor for alternate opinion.
You can consider posting me some of your clinical pictures with detailed history through my profile page, so i can guide you in a better way.
Hope you will be fine soon
Thank you
