Tinea (fungal infection) can usually be treated and cleared with proper antifungal medicines, but it may come back if treatment is stopped early or hygiene is not maintained. Doctors commonly prescribe antifungal creams such as Terbinafine, Clotrimazole or Ketoconazole, and in some cases antifungal tablets if the infection is severe. Keep the affected area clean and dry, avoid tight clothing, and do not share towels or clothes.
