Hello. Thank you for writing to us. I have noted your concern.
Your have not been treating the infection adequately. Just a week or 10 days of topical antifungal treatment won't cure the infection. If I was he treating doctor I would suggest Oral as well as topical antifungals for at least 4 weeks. You may take a tablet of terbinafine 250 mg once a day for 4 weeks. In addition I suggest you to apply a topical antifungal e.g terbinafine 1%cream, twice daily for 4 weeks. I also suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine 10mg tab once every evening for symptomatic relief from itching.
Hope this helps Let me know if you need any further assistance
