If tinea cruris does not improve after taking terbinafine, it may be resistant or may require a longer course or a different antifungal, such as itraconazole. Avoid using steroid combination creams like Betamil GM, as they may worsen the fungal infection and cause it to recur or spread. It is best to consult your doctor or dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment to fully clear the infection.
