Suggest Treatment For Fungal Infection In The Groin Area

I ve got fungal infection in the groin area. The dermatologist has suggested the following medicines : 1. Cefadroxil capsules : twice daily for 10 days 2. Itraconazole capsules : twice daily for 10 days 3. Levocetrizine tablet : once after dinner for 10 days 4. Onabet lotion : twice daily application for 10 days 5. Washing/bathing with Kz soap There s a burning sensation after using onabet lotion for the first 10 minutes. Is it ok? Or shall I use coconut oil instead of onabet? How much time does it generally take to get absolutely free from the problem? Please revert

Hello,
Thanks for writing in HCM.
Well, after going through your post, what has been prescribed by Dermatologist for fungal infection is absolutely right. Since fungal infections takes a little longer to heal, you need to be patient and con not expect quick results.
You cannot replace Onabet lotion with coconut oil. In case the lotion is causing burning sensation, you can replace it with Onabet powder.
Kindly continue the same and it would take about 2 weeks for complete recovery.
Wish you good health.
