Hi,
I am 25y of age, 183cm height and weight 77 kg.
I had tinea curis for about 1 year and a half in the groin area. I didn't really treat it. Lately, I visited my GP. He was quite expeditive and recommended me anti-fungal creams and tablets. I've been doing the treatment for 3 weeks, no improvement except for red skin rash. Since the colour of the affected area is slightly lighter than the skin (and a bit darker on the edge of those patches) and stable (hadn't grow for a very long time), I suspect that the infection healed a while ago, but due to having it for a long time it left scars. Does that sound feasible? If yes, is there any way to remove these scars?
Regarding treatment, I used Lamsil cream (Terbinafine 1% w/w) twice into the infection: once after about 6 months and then 9 months into, for about 2 weeks each time. At those times, the skin was red-ish. Recently, after visiting the doctor, I am using Trimovate Cream (clobetasone butyrate, oxytetracycline, nyastin), Canesten Cream Clotrimazole 1%w/w 20g for fungal infection and some anti-fungal pills 4 times a day for 7 days. I also use Tea Tree Oil (via a stick).
