Suffering from fungal infection in thigh. First told my problem to family doctor he suggested itraconazole tablets. I took for 2-3 weeks. The infection gone for few days. After a month again it appeared. I consulted skin specialist. He prescribed zimig (terbinaforce) tablet and luliconazole ointment. Took these medicines for 2-3 weeks everyday and infection disappeared. Now after six months, again it appeared. What should I do now?
