Just to give a background, last time I had jock itch was a little over a year ago when I came back from vacation where the fungal infection spread to my inner thighs and jock crease. I took lamisil terbinafine cream for 6 weeks, showered twice a day, and used medicated gold bond body powder with improvement that became stagnant. It wasn’t until after I used 1% hydrocortisone cream with my current protocol that my bumps went down within a week. Now presently, I got it again (fantastic lol) and I’ve had it since mid January, coming up on 4 weeks of using terbinafine cream twice a day and showering twice a day. Went to the doctor’s and they told me it may be no point in using the antifungal cream anymore. I was thinking of adding the hydrocortisone cream again to see if it works but I’m hesitant. I was wondering if any one else has been through the same issue as I have with terbinafine, or have tried a cream for weeks with no progress. If so, how did you fix your problem. I’ve booked a dermatologist appointment but it’s gonna be in a month. This is so frustrating, any advice would be appreciative. submitted by /u/Weary_Smell_9978
