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.

Mometasone is corticosteriod based cream and you are alrready using it since an year which is very much more than recomended so would suggest you to stop using it further if you wish to consult for your skin issues I would suggest you can consult me via online way or any other homepath in your locality who can take your case properly coz you need to reduce the harmfull effect of using a corticosteriod prepration for such a long time.

Limit your time in the shower or bath to 5 or 10 minutes.
Use warm rather than hot water.
Wash with a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser.
Apply enough cleanser to remove dirt and oil, but avoid using so much that you see a thick lather.
