I've been dealing with p versicolor on my chest and back for several years, and recently it's spread to my forearms and a bit on my face. I'm using Keraglo AD lotion daily, Saborbar soap, and taking Fluzon 150 mg tablets once a week. It's been two weeks, but I haven't noticed much improvement. Should I keep going with this treatment, or should I see if my doctor can suggest something else?

I'm trying to deal with this jock itch, and I've been using cipladine cream and Dettol, but I'm not sure if that's the right approach. Is there a better or permanent solution for jock itch that I should be considering?
