Asked for male, 23 years old from Mumbai

Jock itch since 4 months, conditioned worsened. Applied clotrimazole before and now switched to ciclopirox candidox. Itching has increased, and due to mumbai sweat, redness has increased. Need a cream which also has antifungal like azoles and also anti-itch properties. Thinking of applying abzorb t during day and butenafine (butop) at night (with coconut oil and kapoor to avoid itching). Itching and sweating are two issues that worsen my infection. thank you.
