Treatment of penile thrush for DS2.8

Hi,
We have been having trouble with recurrent episodes of penile thrush with DS2.8 for the last few months. We have been trying the steroid creams plus Daktarin gel orally to get rid of it. The cream we use is canesten (clotrimazole hydrocortisone) ... We manage to get rid of it but this time seems to be the worst and we are fed up of it.
Is there any other treatment short of circumcision to treat this? I really do not want to go down that route if we can help it. TIA

BTW, he has plenty of nappy free time during the day.. Has bath in just plain warm water for at least 15 mins every day and we apply the cream at least 3 times a day.
