How can jock itch be treated?

Question

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.
