Brief Answer:
All medicines except livafin contain steroid & need to be avoided
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
All the medicines that you have mentioned except livafin cream contain steroid and antifungal combination.
Steroid won't let the infection cure permanently.
It will only cause temporary relief.
Avoid cloben G cream, valbet cream and zole F cream.
Livafin cream contains antifungal but that is usually recommended for nail fungal infection.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply either sertaconazole cream or luliconazole cream on the affected areas twice daily.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
