Why does my vaginal fungal infection keep coming back and spreading to my thighs, stomach, and buttocks even though I have been using treatments like Teczine 10, Candid B, Candid V, Lulican, and Candid for over two months, and could this be related to having COVID-19 last year?
It is very common for stubborn fungal infections to spread, especially if treatments like Candid B (which contains a steroid, beclomethasone) are used long-term, as steroids can sometimes weaken local immunity and worsen fungal spreading. Additionally, a past COVID-19 infection can temporarily impact your immune system, making infections harder to clear. Since medications like luliconazole (Lulican) and clotrimazole (Candid) haven't resolved this, I gently encourage you to see a dermatologist or gynecologist. They can perform a quick skin test to identify the exact organism and guide you toward a targeted, highly effective treatment plan.
