Hello doctor,
I have been suffering from a fungal infection in the inner thighs for more than a month now. I used Terbinaforce tablets. For a month now, I am using only Sebifin cream. But I cannot see much improvement. Can you please suggest me any better treatment or medicine?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Fungal infections usually take two months to resolve completely provided you take proper dose of medicine for the prescribed duration. Terbinaforce (Terbinafine) is a good antifungal. Both tablets Terbinaforce and Sebifin (Terbinafine) cream have the same drug inside them. I suggest if you have taken Terbinaforce for one month then it is sufficient. I would suggest you switch to Seriva cream (Sertaconazole Topical), a newer antifungal. Apply this cream twice a day, in the morning after taking bath and in the night before going to bed.
You also can use KZ soap (Ketoconazole). Use only for thigh area while taking bath. Use your regular soap for rest of the body. You can also use Abzorb Dusting Powder. Apply it to the thigh area after you apply Seriva cream. This will reduce sweating and friction. Along with that, I need you to follow few do's and don'ts.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
