Answered by Dr. Anju Methil
Tinea cruris, also known as jock itch, can be stubborn sometimes. The fungus causing it can develop resistance to certain medications over time, which might be why you haven't seen lasting improvement. It's good that you're being proactive about your care. Taking terbinafine 250mg along with iberconazole ointment could be a good idea to target the fungus from different angles. However, it's essential to consult with your dermatologist before making any changes.
