Finally in the mid nineties I took an air conditioned indoor job that was less physical, and kept my body hair shaved for about three years while using of the shelf anti-fungal creams.
When it stayed gone and I could wear underwear I bought twenty nice eight dollar a pair sets.
I still shell out for expensive briefs.
Anyhow, combine whatever treatment with being in a cool dry environment, and remove your body hair for the duration. One year may not be long enough.
Sorry I didn't know of a magic bullet.

Everything points to sweat, moisture.
The days not working out I’m outside, grass to cut, dogs gotta get out and about EVERY day, grandkids ...
Only cotton boxers if any and shorts most of the year where possible. Air flow seems to help.
I have a relative who picked it up, she thinks at a swimming pool, in the late '40s. A swimming pool in London. She visited several dermatologists who were of no real help in diagnosing the severe skin ailment affecting her feet. Finally she found a dermatologist who was a vet that had served in Burma in WWII. He took one look the oozing sores and said "it's jungle rot, when were you in the tropics?"
She had never left England at that time, hence the public pool speculation. She had outbreaks, every year or two, at least until the late 1990s. But modern medicine, or time, has apparently worked a cure.
