Since your condition has not improved even after oral antifungals (itraconazole/fluconazole) and is persisting for almost a year, this is likely NOT a fungal infection.
From your description and images, possibilities include:
• Lichen sclerosus
• Chronic dermatitis / eczema
• Inverse psoriasis
These conditions often mimic fungal infection but do not respond to antifungals.
Next Steps (What should the patient do next?):
• Consult a dermatologist for clinical examination
• May require dermoscopy or skin biopsy if diagnosis unclear
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Avoid repeated self-use of antifungals now
• Avoid steroid-antifungal combination creams without diagnosis
• Keep area dry, avoid friction
• Early treatment is important to prevent chronic changes
