The treatment for fungal infection is simple. You have to take anti fungal tablets and creams for 4 to 6 weeks following which it resolves. Do not apply soap on that area and do not self treat with over the counter steroid creams. Mistreatment with steroid creams and self treatment with cheaper medicine is the most common reason for recurrent disease. Also, if all household a members are not treated at the same a time, cross infection occurs. Cheaper brands of intraconazole is another cause of recurrence. I see such chronic cases everyday. It does resolve with treatment. You can call me or send photos for prescription.
