Hello! There is this frustrating allergy (or fungus infection, we don't know exactly what it is). It started about 2 and a half years ago, person in photo went to two doctors, one said it was dermatitis and the other said it was a fungus infection, both of them prescribed the same medication: fluconazole. If said medication is taken, it goes away for some time but comes back in cycles of about 6 to 6 months. First time person in photo had it, it was a bit redder (more of a red tone), but after many times it became whiter as in photo. Additional info: it itches, it doesn't hurt, IGE exam has shown normal values (they were not able to identify the cause by the IGE exam).

If you know what this condition might be, or any info regarding that (such as adequate treatment), we would be extremely grateful.
