If the condition is ny fungal infection (like tinea cruris/ corporis) then cap itraconazole 200 and antifungal cream is generally prescribed for 1 month. Lesser the duration of treatment more the chances of recurrence. Thanks.

Good evening lybrate-user. Based on your symptoms and treatment history, you were treated for ringworm/jock itch. You haven't mentioned the dosage and duration of treatment. While on treatment, regular follow up as advised by your treating doctor is necessary as treatment may have to be changed/ increased in duration based on clinical examination. If you are currently under treatment by a doctor, discuss and schedule regular follow ups while undergoing treatment. If not, kindly consult a qualified dermatologist (always better if in person; online consultation if no other choice) for assessment and treatment initiation.
