I have fungus on my rectum and belly button. i was prescribed a cream that cleared it up then it reoccurred. what other treatments are there?

Wait...: Just because it recurred, doesn't mean you need a different treatment. How long after the tx did it recur? Was it right away, or a decent amount of time inbetween? Also, did you really do the whole course of treatment the right way for the right amount of time, or did you sorta-kinda do it like many of us do, thinking it'll be okay when it's not? If 2-3 real tries don't work, get a new one.

The cause?: You need to find out what makes you predisposed to fungal infection before you can control it. The treatment can eradicate it but unless the cause can be found the problem will return. I don't believe you CML is causing the problem however. You may need to consult an infectious disease doctor and/or endocrinologist.
