Tinea cruris can keep recurring if the infection is not fully cleared, treatment duration is insufficient, or due to factors like sweating, tight clothing, diabetes, or reinfection from clothes/towels. Sometimes fungal resistance can also occur. It is important to complete treatment as advised, keep the area dry, and avoid sharing personal items. Consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and possible change in therapy.
