Recurrent tinea can be because of many reasons. The first reason is mistreatment with steroid creams due to which the fungal inspection subsides at first but then it records back. Treatment with older antifungal drugs also does not work. One of the common reasons for occurrence is similar infection in other household members because of which the infection keeps transmitting from one another. Please send photos in private chat for proper treatment. Antifungal drugs for 4 to 6 weeks should resolve the problem.
