Aloha ElysianWort. I offer a sincere response to a sincere query.
I've never tried urine before on fungus, but I know (from personal experience) it works to numb the immediate pain of sea urchin spines. (Wana if my Hawaiian dictionary is correct) Vinegar dissolves the spines, but it takes time.
Back to topic. It sounds like you've tried most everything. While clean and dry clothes, towels, and body are great, they do not necessarily cure or prevent misc. fungus. Everybody is different in the way they defend themselves against fungus, and respond to treatment.
I suggest that you keep trying until you find something that makes a "dent" in the problem, and then stick with it until it clears up. Sorry to say that it sometimes takes months (or longer) of treatment to effect desired result. Our climate is perfect for fungal growth.
My Dad recalled having what he called "jungle rot" in Hawaii during WW 2. I never knew exactly what it was, but I have a better idea of the array of fungus people suffer from here now. It can be anything from toenails, to feet, to "haole rot" to ringworm we can get from our cats.
Despite fungus not being a subject most people wish to talk about, you are not alone or there wouldn't be so many recommendations so far in this thread.
Good luck clearing it up!
