Ointment for treating tinea cruris

The buttocks area is prone to skin diseases such as tinea cruris. After the onset of tinea cruris, the patient's most obvious feeling is itching, and they will feel that the itching cannot be stopped. If tinea cruris is not treated effectively in time, the affected area will continue to spread, which will cause great harm to the skin. You can try using hormonal Western medicine or antifungal drugs.

There are three main types of treatment for tinea cruris. Commonly used ointments are as follows:

1. Hormone Western medicine

Such as: Pi Yan Ping, Dexamethasone Cream, etc. The characteristics of this treatment method are that the effect time is short, but the recurrence rate is high, the use of hormones can easily stimulate the fungus to accelerate reproduction and worsen the condition, and it can easily lead to hormone dependence. Physicians recommend it only for short-term control of symptoms.

2. Antifungal drugs

Such as: Daktarin, etc. This treatment method is characterized by its speed. It has the same principle as hormone drugs, but it is not as fast as hormone drugs. Long-term use will not cause any harm to the body, but over time the body will become resistant to this type of drug, and the effect will become worse and worse. Doctors recommend that patients with mild illnesses can use it.

3. Herbal medicine and traditional Chinese medicine

Such as: Xuangenjing, etc. The characteristics of this treatment method are that it takes a little longer to take effect, but the effect is solid and the recurrence rate is low. Because it does not contain any hormones and chemical ingredients, it will not cause secondary harm to the human body. It is widely suitable for the elderly, children, women and other people with sensitive constitutions.

However, if tinea cruris is caused by a systemic disease that leads to low body resistance, the patient should actively seek treatment to enhance the body's immunity. However, if the patient develops tinea cruris due to long-term use of hormones or immunosuppressants, these drugs should be used less or not at all under the doctor's advice.

In addition, during treatment, you should keep your skin clean and dry, and avoid close contact with patients with ringworm and animals. In daily life, people should be careful not to share daily necessities such as bathtubs, towels, and clothes with others to avoid cross infection.
