It is recommended to stop self-treatment and consult a doctor or dermatologist for a proper diagnosis. Topical antifungal creams like Ring Guard can relieve symptoms, but if the affected area has not reduced, the infection may not be responding adequately, or the antifungal may not be strong enough. A doctor can confirm the diagnosis and may prescribe a stronger topical or oral antifungal medication to treat the infection effectively.

The lack of improvement may be due to insufficient treatment duration, incorrect application, or a fungal infection that is resistant to the current medication. Tenovate-M cream contains a steroid (Clobetasol), which may sometimes worsen fungal infections if used for a prolonged period. It is recommended to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation, possible fungal culture testing, and adjustment of antifungal therapy.

Persistent or recurrent Tinea cruris may result from inadequate treatment, improper hygiene, reinfection, or antifungal resistance. It is recommended to consult a doctor or dermatologist for a thorough evaluation. Your doctor may prescribe a longer course of oral antifungal medications, often in combination with topical antifungal creams. Additionally, keeping the groin area clean and dry, disinfecting clothing and bed linens, wearing loose cotton clothing, and avoiding irritants can help prevent recurrence.

Persistent Tinea cruris, despite multiple doses of Fluka 150 Tablet (Fluconazole), indicates the need to consult a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and review the treatment plan. The doctor may prescribe a longer course of oral antifungals, combined with a topical antifungal cream such as terbinafine, clotrimazole, or ketoconazole for 2?4 weeks to achieve effective results. Maintaining good hygiene, keeping the area dry, and wearing loose cotton clothing can help prevent recurrence.

Dandruff is commonly caused by fungal overgrowth on the scalp. The most effective treatment is to use a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, or selenium sulfide 2?3 times per week, as directed, to reduce itching and flaking. Maintaining scalp hygiene, avoiding excessive hair oils, and managing stress can help prevent recurrence. If symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and appropriate treatment.

If fungal infections keep returning despite long-term oral and topical antifungal treatment, you should consult a dermatologist for a thorough re-evaluation. The doctor can help confirm the diagnosis, assess for drug resistance, or identify any underlying causes (e.g., diabetes). Tests such as a skin scraping (KOH smear test) and a fungal culture may be recommended to guide appropriate antifungal treatment. Additionally, maintaining strict hygiene, keeping the affected area dry, wearing loose cotton clothing, and disinfecting clothing and bed linens are important to prevent reinfection.
