  5. I've been dealing with jock itch for about 4 months now. I've tried using creams and powders, like clotrimazole and terbinafine, but it's not improving. In fact, it seems to be getting worse, with the red rashes spreading and becoming more itchy. What should I do?

Seems like the jock itch is not responding to the antifungal treatments you have tried. In such cases, oral antifungal medications may be necessary to treat the infection effectively. I recommend taking oral fluconazole along with continuing the topical antifungal creams. Please consult your healthcare provider for the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent further spread of the infection.
