And is still not going rather reoccuring at 14 days intervals . came across a post saying kt5derm has steroids which can worsen . i stopped and had terbinafine tablets . course for 7 days . no visible results so i tried using terbinafine cream . but terbinafine cream kind of made the itching worse .

Fungal infection usually needs a prolonged treatment and after using steroids that duration further increases and when you stop steroids even an initial flare up can happen
