I am suffering from tinea cruris with large patches on my inner thighs and buttocks. I took terbinafine 250 mg for one month, but I have not been cured. I had a similar problem previously, which improved after taking Tyza 250 tablets for one month and applying Betamil GM cream, but it has recurred. Kindly advise what I should do.

Have a query?
