Tinea Infection won't go away
I have had Tinea infection on various body parts like inner thighs, groin, belt area, armpits for almost 4-5 months now. I did the following course for 4 weeks - Tab Prugo 10 (once a day), Cap Canditral 100 (once a day), Ointment Propyzole (once during night), Ointment Sebifin (once during day). I did the above course twice weeks while increasing my dosage the second time. The infection usually subsides for sometime when I'm taking the medicine and then appears again after the course is complete. Please suggest a more effective course to get rid of Tinea.

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like propyzole, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please call me or contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household., Please don't self treat. Canditral doesn't work.
