Brief Answer:
Antifungal lotions may act faster.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Lamisil and Nystatin are good antifungals and should provide relief. It is hard to give you a faster relief. However, you may try Candid (clotrimazole) lotion instead. The lotion usually acts faster.

You will have to be a bit patient. Keep the area clean and dry.

Regards
