Doctor's answer:

Treating tinea corporis and tinea cruris with traditional Chinese medicine methods is not very effective. This is because if the skin reappears with this infection, it can easily lead to skin damage and cause symptoms of itching to reoccur. Additionally, it may also lead to an increase in the production of secretions. Local application of antifungal medications can be used for treatment, or oral antifungal medications can be taken. It is important to closely monitor any changes in liver function.
