Fungotek cream (Terbinafine) is appropriate for treating fungal skin infections. Tenovate cream (Clobetasol) is a potent steroid that may temporarily reduce inflammation, but long-term use without medical supervision can thin the skin and worsen fungal infections. Your mother should consult her doctor or dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment.
