Treatment has to be taken till full cure.Excessive sweating can cause recurrence.Recurrences are more common in hot humid climate.Wear loose cotton clothes.Avoid tight fitting clothing.Medicated soaps and powders can be used to prevent recurrence even after resolution of the symptoms.As this is contagious avoid sharing soaps ,towels etc.Online consultation is recommended for further evaluation
