Question : I have been treating jock itch to my scrotum and taint with lotrimin AF spray and Lotrimin Ultra for 10 days or more and it's only marginally better. Still itches like hell! Dr had prescribed Clotrimazole 1% for yeast infection a while back. Shoul I get this refilled?

Detailed Answer:
HI

I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
Since you have a fungal rash over the groin region ,you might need regular treatment with topical antifungal Agents .
You can surely use clotrimazole over the affected areas but remember to apply it twice daily .
Use it regularly for atLeast two weeks for complete cure and to pevent any recurrences.
