Suggest Remedies For Recurrent Tinea Cruris

I m an 18 year old girl. And I ve got jock itch for more than 6 months. I used ebernet M and all sees to be great but then my doctor suggested me to use low power cream to cure it like daskil. But after using this it reappeared as it was. I want to concentrate on my studies but it doesnt allow me to do so. My mother suggested me to apply ITCH GUARD. I cant feel itching now but still what to do?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Sometimes fungal infection becomes resistant to treat. Fungus thrives on warm and moist skin like groin. That’s why fungal infections are more common in summer. Contributing factors are high humidity, heat, perspiration, diabetes mellitus, obesity, friction from clothes. Fungal infection is contagious. Transmission occurs via infected towels, linens, and clothing. Infection can be avoided by lifestyle and hygiene modifications.
Advice
1.     Apply Nizral lotion every 8 hours daily for 15 days
2.     Tablet Flucos (Fluconazole) 50 mg daily per oral for 7 days
3.     Use Flucos dusting powder to keep your groin area dry
4.     Wear loose cotton undergarment
5.     Avoid sharing clothing, towels, or bed sheets
6.     Wash clothes and bed sheets in hot water with fungicidal soap
7.     Do not scratch to much
8.     Take high protein diet such as eggs and cheese to boost immunity
Thanks
