I've got this really bad jock itch in my groin area and I'm wondering if it's okay to use Vicks Vaporub to help with it. Is that a safe option?

Good morning, I've been struggling with this ringworm thing for about 7 months now. I've tried all sorts of meds, but it keeps coming back. I even tried a turmeric and honey paste, and it seemed to work. No more itching or pain with that. Now, my doctor has put me on itraconazole 200 for a month in the mornings and some multi-vitamins and mineral capsules in the afternoons. I'm wondering if these are the best choices for me? Also, any tips on the best foods to eat or avoid during this time? Like, is it okay to have non-veg, milk, and curd?

I'm dealing with a persistent fungal infection and have been using Zole f to treat it. The cream seems to help at first, but after a few days, the infection comes back. Could you suggest a more effective treatment plan for this issue?

For fungal infections, it is important to use an antifungal medication that targets the specific type of fungus causing the infection. In this case, I recommend using a combination of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) and Fluconazole tablets (such as Diflucan). Apply the Clotrimazole cream twice daily to the affected area for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, take one Fluconazole 150mg tablet orally, once a week for 4 weeks. It is important to complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is completely eradicated. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
