Rather persistent jock itch

Rather persistent jock itch

Dear Meds,
About six months back i contracted a persistent itch in my inner thighs, but i didn't hink much of it - later i noticed that it was a reddish -whitish fungus which was growing. After diagnosis as jock itch, A doctor suggested fluconazole 150mg tablets - once a week(if i wanted) and Candid cream(Clotrimazole). I am pretty hygienic - i shower daily/twice a day if i go out or indulge in any sport/activity that induces sweating. i also keep the area dry at all times. Candid cream did not help much at all, but recently i started using candid powder to dust the area two weeks ago which has worked wonders for the itch, but the rash still persists though it seems to have stopped growing. I am still taking Fluconazole 150 tablet once a week. Any advice how to be rid of this itchy menace for good? :)
