Hello,
Better stop applying candiderm cream as it contains steroids.
Apply plain antigpfungal cream like CLOTRIMAZOLE.
Take oral antifungal tabket like FLUCANAZOLE 150 mg every week for 6 weeks for complete eradication.
Apply antifungal dusting powder in the daytime.
Dry your body well after taking bath and don't share your clother with anybody.
Wear cotton clothes and loose cotton undergarments.
Thanks
