General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi.

I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

If your tinea corporis infection is not responding to the antifungals, it's must to rule out underlying predisposing factors like Diabetes, immunosuppressive disorders & treatment if any.

I advice you to take,
- Tab. Griseofulvin (6weeks) or terbinafine (4weeks) as itraconazole is not responding.
- candid powder in the day time  or
- Terbinafine cream at night for 2weeks
- maintain good self hygiene

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Regards,

Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician
