I've been dealing with jock itch for about two years now, and the affected area keeps getting worse every week. It's spread all over my butt. I've tried using fungal soap and creams, but it just keeps coming back. What can I do to completely get rid of it? Are there any medicines or treatments that will cure it for good?
Jock itch, also known as tinea cruris, is a fungal infection that affects the skin in the groin area. For persistent cases like yours, oral antifungal medications may be necessary for complete eradication. I recommend taking Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks along with applying Clotrimazole cream twice daily to the affected areas. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent recurrence.
