“Jock Itch that resist treatment”
Jock itch that only responds to oral medication, Terbinafine and Fluconazole so far. I am 73 years old and the doctor's say they think the problem is my immunity system. Does anyone know of people having to take either of these meds for a long time. Right now my kidneys and liver are functioning normally. Any advise or suggestions would be appreciated

It seems like you're having a tough time with jock itch that only gets better with stronger medicines. Since you're 73 and doctors think it might be related to your immune system, here are a few things to help:
Check Your Health: Keep track of how your liver and kidneys are doing, as you're taking these medicines for a while.
Use Creams: Along with the pills, try applying antifungal creams to the skin to help fight the infection.
Stay Clean and Dry: Make sure the area stays dry and clean, because fungus loves warm and wet places. Wear loose clothes.
Strengthen Your Immune System: Ask your doctor about ways to help your immune system fight infections better.
If the problem keeps going, you might want to talk to a skin specialist for more help.

Hello there! I treat the feet for fungus when treating fungal infections in the groin because the fungus can transfer when wearing underwear, with an anti-fungal cream. Please see a physician for closer evaluation and maybe biopsy to rule out other causes of genital rashes.
