Fluconazole does not give complete cure for fungal infection in most cases.Most creams given by pharmacies contain steroids that reduce the redness for some days but does not cure the infection. You need to take a course of antifungal tablet along with anti fungal creams and anti- itch medicine to prevent the infection from spreading by repeated itching.
Next Steps
Consult online. provide these details - number of days of infection, history of diabetes or any other illness, and your weight so that appropriate dosage can be prescribed.
Health Tips
Do not apply steroid creams. Wear clean and totally dry clothes.
