Sir I am suffering from jock itch and ringworm on other body parts from last 5-6 months. I have been given fluconazole for 3 months, then griseofulvin 1000 mg for 2 months and currently now I am on Terbinafine 500 mg daily for about 5 days. Side by side I am also applying clotrimazole cream for 3 months. Although the redness and rings are reducing but it is very itching at the fungus locations. I am using LC-Z 10 but it is not helping. The continuous itching is very irritating as well as with burning sensation.

You are suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and genital 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. I don't think even terbinafine a works these days. Other option are there. Please contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription.
