Hi,
It may not be fungal infection...so not responding to antifungal treatment given by your doctor. It may be some allergy leading to eczematous dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply mild steroid cream. And take oral steroids in tapering dose with antihistaminics. Avoid the contact with suspected allergens. Avoid soap bath.
Hope this helps.
