What are the recommended alternative treatments and management strategies for severe, spreading tinea cruris that has failed to improve after four weeks of oral fluconazole and topical antifungal-steroid therapy?

Asked by Male, 28 · 13 days ago

Since fluconazole and the steroid combination haven't worked, the first step is often to stop the topical steroid, as steroids can actually worsen fungal infections. Your doctor may suggest switching to a different oral antifungal, such as terbinafine or itraconazole. It is also highly recommended to have a doctor perform a simple skin scraping to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions. In the meantime, keep the area clean, dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton clothing. Please consult your dermatologist to safely adjust your treatment plan.
