If itching returns after stopping treatment, the infection may require a longer course of treatment or a suitable medicine. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, and consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm sorry to hear that the itching is severe and persistent despite using Surfaz cream and Terbinaforce tablets. It sounds frustrating when relief only lasts while using these treatments.

Here are some suggestions that might help:

  • Continue the full course of antifungal treatment as prescribed, since stopping early can allow the infection to return.
  • Avoid scratching the affected area to prevent further irritation or secondary infection.
  • Keep the area clean and dry, as moisture can worsen fungal infections.
  • Wear loose, breathable clothing made of natural fibers like cotton to reduce sweating and irritation.
  • If symptoms return immediately after stopping treatment, it may indicate a resistant or deeper infection that needs reassessment.
  • Consult a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation. They might recommend alternative or stronger antifungal medications, or investigate other causes of itching such as eczema or allergic reactions.
  • Sometimes, additional treatments like antihistamines or corticosteroid creams are needed to control severe itching, but these should only be used under medical supervision.

Please see a dermatologist promptly to get a tailored treatment plan and avoid complications. If the itching worsens or you notice signs of infection like increased redness, swelling, or pus, seek medical attention urgently.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand the itching is severe and that Surfaz ointment and Terbinaforce tablets only provide temporary relief. Could you please share your age and gender so I can better understand your situation?
