The lack of improvement may be due to insufficient treatment duration, incorrect application, or a fungal infection that is resistant to the current medication. Tenovate-M cream contains a steroid (Clobetasol), which may sometimes worsen fungal infections if used for a prolonged period. It is recommended to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation, possible fungal culture testing, and adjustment of antifungal therapy.
