I’ve had a penile fungal infection since I was 13 years old. I’m 22 years old now

I've had a penile fungal infection for 9 years! As a kid, I didn't know how to tell my parents and the longer i put off the issue the more uncomfortable i came to bring it up.

I went to a dermatologist and I'm currently using the Sulconazole Nitrate Cream 1.0% twice a day and the Fluconazole 150 mg oral tablet once every week.

I'm a week and a half through my treatment and haven't seen any improvements. Is there any chance that this will ever go away?
