Fungal infections take time to go
sometimes 3-4 months. The key is to take medicines regularly and not stop the treatment until your doctor tells you to do so. Both works wonderfully in tinea. But it depends what kind of tinea you have. You might be resistant also to any. Of the medication. For that we need to look at it.

Tinea cruris / jock itch / eczema are most common of all and are 100% curable by homeopathic treatment. I advise you to stop such creams as it gives temporary results only with lots of side effects, it will recur once you stop applying it. When does itching gets worse? Pain / burning after scratching? Any discharge?
Homeopathic treatment cures it from roots. You can consult me online for homoeopathic treatment without side effects.
