Question: sir I am suffering from tinea corporis, it has spread over my hip and groin.. a black colour patch has formed now? can u suggest good medicines
Brief Answer:
Both topical and systemic anti fungals are needed in your case.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.
I understand your concern.
For Tinea Corporis,effective anti fungal therapy has to be instituted.
Clotrimazole is not effective.
I recommend both topical as well as systemic therapy in your case for rapid and effective control of your symptoms.
I advise you to take tab Fluconazole/Diflucan 200 mg PO on day 1 followed by 100 mg once a day for 2 weeks.
Simultaneously Lotrimin/Butenafine Cream: Apply to affected area once or twice a day for at least 1 week; not to exceed 4 weeks.
This regimen will offer the best results in 2 weeks.
Please note these drugs have to be taken only under strict medical supervision.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
