Dermatologist Dr. Bharat Chawda's  Response
Hi!,
Welcome To HealthcareMagic forum,
The best treatment for t.cruris is to take a fungicidal antifungal tablet. like terbinafine (250mg) ONCE DAILY...for a month ..Or you can also take tab fluconazole (150mg) one tab once a wk for 4 wks...use a anti fungal powder in day time and a anti fungal cream at night...this would completely cure your problem.
take care,
Dr.chawda
