For a fungal infection above the pubic hair, a topical antifungal cream such as clotrimazole, ketoconazole, or miconazole is usually recommended. Apply the cream as directed for 2 to 4 weeks and keep the area clean and dry to prevent the fungus from spreading. If it does not improve, a doctor may prescribe oral antifungal medication.

You should stop using steroid-based creams such as Tenovate-M Cream (Clobetasol and Miconazole), as long-term use may worsen fungal infections. Please see a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment with a prescription-strength topical or oral antifungal medicine.
