Hello doctor, I have a jock itch problem. I have to travel around 3 days in a week. So I can t avoid sweat in the groin area. I have ring worm on abdomen and bums as well. I have used ring guard, clotrimazole + neomycin cream but none of them was effective for me. I can t stop itching as well even after knowing that it irritates the skin :-( Please suggest me what should I do?

Therefore, I would recommend proper course of highly effective antifungal drug like itraconazole. Itraconzole 100mg capsule to be taken once daily for one month after lunch.
Along with oral antifungal, local application of sertaconazole cream over affected areas twice a day will help to reduce the symptoms.Take oral antihistaminics for itching as required.
Use antifungal dusting powder while going outdoors.Avoid tight undergarments and use cotton clothes as far as possible. Thank you.
