Hi doctor! I am facing problems related to my skin from last two years. Basically fungal infection, it started with dandruff on scalp and red rashes on face but now it gets worse. There are rashes on buttocks and groin area. I have visited several dermatologists but nothing is working. When I take prescribed medicines and creams it goes off but after sometime within a month or two it reappears. I have been taking all precautions like maintaining proper hygiene but still it is reoccurring. When it started two years back, it was used to be only dandruff but now from last year I am getting rashes and itching on buttocks too. What should I do?
