Hello lybrate-user.
Fungal infections need long term and correct treatment that are modified from time to time depending on response. The infection has become very resistant. We would like to know your detailed history, see the condition and review previous treatments. Certain investigations of blood and skin may also be necessary. Hence kindly schedule a visit with a dermatologist near you or write to us to schedule an appointment. Wishing you health.

Dear lybrate user. I can understand. Are you sure that you are suffering from yeast infection ? Did you consult a doctor in person ? If the diagnosis is wrong, the treatment may not yield the desired result. Cuts or scratches could be due to dryness too. Please provide other symptoms. Symptoms vary and may include itching and rash at the affected site. Take care.
