Since your infection hasn't responded to itraconazole or terbinafine, the next step is to confirm the exact diagnosis. Sometimes, other skin conditions mimic fungal infections, or the fungus may be resistant. I highly recommend visiting a dermatologist for a skin scraping test or culture to identify the exact organism. If it is confirmed as a resistant fungal infection, alternative oral antifungals like fluconazole or griseofulvin may be considered. Additionally, combining oral therapy with topical antifungal creams like ketoconazole, clotrimazole, or luliconazole can provide relief. Please consult your doctor for a targeted prescription based on your test results.
