How to manage the symptoms of tinea curis?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I think I have had tinea cruris (commonly known as jock itch) in my groin area for two months. It is getting worse even after using creams, and tablets. I am in Asia right now and the temperature is cold here. Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
I would suggest you to follow the following steps:
- Avoid occlusive tight wear. Wear loose comfortable comfortable cotton inners or clothes.
- Keep the area clean and dry.
- Apply Miconazole cream at night for six weeks.
- Apply Terbinafine hydrochloride cream in the daytime for six weeks.
- Use Clocip KZ soap 75g (Clotrimazole and Ketoconazole) for bathing for two months.
Attach a clinical picture to assess, so that I can guide you further. Follow up after two months.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you
