Brief Answer:
Stop lobate GM cream immediately, take tab terbinafine & luliconazole cream
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have gone through your complaints and lobate GM is a totally wrong medicine for tinea infection.
It contains a steroid which will never let the infection cure.
It will only cause temporary suppression of infection but will worsen it in long run.
I would recommend you to immediately stop applying lobate GM cream.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take oral and topical antifungals.
I would recommend you to take tablet terbinafine 250 mg twice daily and apply luliconazole cream on the affected areas once daily for 3 weeks. Terbinafine is antifungal.
For itching take antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
