Jock itch not getting cured
I have been suffering from jock itch for the past 6 months...it started aa red rashes which developed into circular blisters with a central clearing...i have tried several treatments...latest prescription includes two 150 mg flucanazole tablet each week for 3 weeks and terbanifine cream...but none of the treatments seem to work... application of tetmosol cream seems to clear the rashes but the infection relapses after 3 days. The itching becomes unbearable...can you please suggest a good way to get rid of jock itch permanently? Also, is usage of tetmosol for long safe?

No...Fungal infection.. Also called jock itch, when occurs in groin.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema, bacterial and viral infection, doctor need to see to confirm the diagnosis..So, meet me in my clinic or do direct online consultation by sending photos for detailed information and medicine for treatment.
