I have ringworm around my private parts and knees, along with bumps, and Terbest tablets are not working. What alternative medication or treatment should I take?

Asked by Male, 28 · 12 days ago

Since oral terbinafine is not working, the fungus may be resistant, or the bumps could indicate a different skin condition. I highly recommend visiting a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis. An effective alternative treatment plan often involves switching to oral itraconazole, paired with a topical antifungal cream such as luliconazole or clotrimazole. Please avoid using over-the-counter creams containing steroids, as they can temporarily relieve itching but ultimately worsen fungal infections. Keep the affected areas clean, dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton clothing to aid recovery. A doctor can prescribe the exact dosage safe for you.
