I was infected with this persistent fungal infection in my groin area a long time ago. I've been using this antifungal cream "Dermafin" (Active ingredient terbinafine hydrochloride 1%) religiously twice a day for over a month now, but it still persists. I think it might be because that area is perpetually sweaty so its conducive for the fungal infection to spread. Or maybe the cream isnt effective enough. I've tried using a combination of talcum powder to keep it dry and the cream but it still doesnt want to go away.
And now my problems just got worse. I just got infected with athelete's foot, which through a quick search on wiki confirms that its caused by the same fungus that causes jock itch. So i'm seriously panicking now. Does anyone have a very effective method to cure both? I play sports quite often and am a person who sweats VERY EASILY so my feet and groin area are almost always sweaty.
Its quite a large area so spending on cream is taking a large toll on my pocket... Advice would be much appreciated. I have a feeling that terbinafine hydrochloride might not be very effective against my infection, so i really need some alternative (preferably cheap, over the counter and readily available in singapore) solution.
