I have been suffering from a fungal infection for the past 6 months, mainly on my buttocks. I have taken medicines like Itraconazole, antihistamine tablets, and applied Luliconazole cream. The infection improves while taking medicines, but returns again later, and the patches turn black in colour. How long should I continue treatment, and what medicines can permanently cure this problem?

Have a query?
