Brief Answer:
Apply the topical drug only
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Clotrimazole is a topical medicine ,available as a cream ,to be applied over the affected area twice daily .
Itraconazole is an oral antifungal drug used in severe and resistant cases of fungal infections ,so you might not need it right now.
