Which cream is better for tinea cruris?
Hi! I was using Terbinaforce Plus cream (by Discovery) for Tinea Cruris. It was working, but slowly. The pack was empty, so I went to the chemist again and they gave me Terbinaforce Cream (by Lifestar) and said both are same, though also on the expensive side. I wanted to know which one is better and why is the later expensive than the former?

No.. Specific Medicine required..Fungal infection or Ring worm.. when occurs in groin, called as jock itch.. 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 and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment..So, please send photos of the affected area by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Both the creams you used at absolutely contraindicated. They contain steroid which is not to be used at all especially in Delicate areas like groin. I would strongly recommend you to stop using these creams and consult a nearby dermatologist for permanent solution. All these creams will give you symptomatic results whereas it make you dependent making the condition worse
