You should consult a dermatologist, who can reassess your skin to rule out other conditions and prescribe a longer course of oral antifungal medication or an alternative treatment. Meanwhile, keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent spreading. Do not self-medicate with higher doses, as this may worsen the infection.
