How can jock itch be treated?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 29-year-old non-diabetic male. I am suffering from a jock itch and ringworm infection. I have been applying Quadriderm cream but I have not noticed any significant improvement. Rather, the itching has intensified. The inner thigh and anal area have turned brown. On ringworms, I have applied Candiderma Plus. But, there is no improvement. I have attached pictures of the infected area.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the attachments (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

I suggest you take an oral antifungal like Zimig 250 mg (Terbinafine) or Canditral (Itraconazole) 200 mg capsule once a day for four weeks. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take the medicines. Topically, you may apply either Lulifincream (Luliconazole) 1 % cream or Onabet (Sertaconazole) 2 % cream twice daily for four weeks. In addition to this, you may take tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

Because of Cetirizine, I get a cough and it turns into asthma. Is it okay to use Levocetirizine and Montelukast combination?

Please help.
