View allI'm dealing with a frustrating fungal infection near my groin area that's causing a lot of itching and has turned the skin black in that spot. It's been going on for about four months now. I've been using Terbinaforce for around 6 to 8 weeks, and I've also been applying candid powder in the morning and Clocip B cream at night. How long might it take to see some real improvement? Is there anything else I should be doing to help this heal?
It is likely a case of Tinea cruris, also known as jock itch. Terbinaforce is a good choice for treating fungal infections. It contains Terbinafine which is effective against various types of fungi. The usual dosage for Terbinaforce is to apply a thin layer on the affected area once daily for 2 to 4 weeks. Additionally, using Candid powder in the morning and Clocip B cream at night is a good combination for managing the symptoms. Candid powder contains Clotrimazole which is an antifungal agent, and Clocip B cream contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone which helps in reducing inflammation and itching. Continue this treatment regimen for the recommended 6 to 8 weeks for optimal results.

I'm wondering if applying Glocin during the day is safe. Will it cause any pigmentation if I'm exposed to sunlight or even just the light from a normal tubelight? Really need some guidance here.
Glocin is a brand name for the drug Mometasone. Mometasone is a topical corticosteroid used to reduce skin inflammation. When applied during the day, it is generally safe to use. However, prolonged exposure to sunlight or artificial light like tubelight can increase the risk of skin pigmentation. It is advisable to use sunscreen with a high SPF during the day to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
