Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

Fungal infections have high chances of recurring.
The scabs be secondary infection due to the scratching.
You need to take oral and topical anti-fungal medications for a minimum of 6-8 weeks until complete resorption.
Also, I suggest you visit a dermatologist for a thorough review.

Hope I have answered your query.
