Hi, I am 17 years old girl and I am dealing with jock itch also i'm on medication (butenafine & terbinafine) and doing everything doctor's have suggested from keeping the area dry using antifungal powder to applying ointment twice a day and also listerine with cotton and I can feel the difference but even tho I can see improvement in my groin area everyday, I don't know how it will go away faster because as a girl I am worried how will I deal with my periods with this fungal infection (9 days left) I seriously wanna consult a doctor for this, so if you can help me please reply, I am done dealing with this problem, my exams are coming and it is really depressing me I sleep only 4 hours a day because I am extremely uncomfortable, I really need help my finals are in 3 weeks, thank you

Hello lybrate-user, thank you for your question but please understand fungal infection is not something that can be dealt with quickly. Your skin needs time to heal make sure you continuously use your antifungal creams along with the oral medications. Do these things more cautiously when on your period. Please do not be depressed or let it bother you to a point where you are not able to do your regular activities. Like I said give it time and be consistent with your treatment.
