I can understand your problem but you need to understand that fungal infection of skin calls for better hygiene, regular bathing, clean garments and use of talcum powder. Apply Terbicip cream twice daily and tab teczine 5 mg once at night for 3 weeks. You can also use candid powder twice daily.

Hello. Welcome to 1mg. I have read your query. I understand your concern. For Fungal infection , I prefer to advise oral itraconazole for cases not responding to fluconazole or terbinafine. Apply sertraconazole cream. You need to continue the medications for atleast 6 - 8 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry. I hope it helps. Take care
