See remark: You may need to try different antifungal cream.It is very unusaul a month long treratment not helping. My remedy besides the cream,is apply or wrap loosely head of penis with gauze ,this gauze should be soaked with solution of 1teaspoon baking powder in 1/2 cup warm water for 15min for 2-3 days
