Jock itch or tinea cruris
Hi I had timea cruris and consulted doctor. He advised me to take gris odt for 2 weeks and xyzal 10 mg when needed along with a cream onabet (without steroids). I took for 2 weeks and the infection is almost gone and the doctor asked me to continue gris odt for another week and cream for next 2 weeks.
Very rarely I still feel very light itching sensation on my balls. Should I continue gris odt? If yes, for how many weeks? Please give specific time period so that its completely gone
Can someone pls suggest a good soap to use in genital area?

Tinea infection treatment course is usually 4-6weeks. However, the tablets can be stopped if the disease activity isn’t there. Anti-fungal creams have to be continued for a minimum of 6weeks duration to have a control over it.
Ketoconazole soap can be used for the body.
