It sounds like your vet thinks this is a fungal infection, given that the antifungal drug intraconazole was prescribed, however if there has been no response to these therapies I recommend some testing, such as scraping the skin to look for mites or getting a small section for biopsy, in order to diagnose exactly what is going on.
