Combining ringworm medications

Question

Asked for Male, 29 Years

I haven't found any info online... is it better to attack with different medications to fight ringworm/jock itch? Specifically: can I use a miconazole nitrate powder in the morning/evening AND Lotrimin Ultra (butenafine hydrochloride) in the afternoon? I'm also taking 100mg of fluconazole 1x a week. I haven't seen much improvement and it's been about a month. So is it better to hit the infection with multiple treatments?
