Thanks, tried Cloteamizole for 2 months. Seemed to be gone but after 3 - 4 weeks suddenly back with avengance. 

Sorry to hear that, but having played football for many years (and tennis), I'm pretty much used to getting Jock itch (fungal) and similar, and even more so in this hot and humid climate.

 

Sometimes some of the older antifungals will take more than a month to completely clear the infection, and that means applying it three times a day, and especially before you go to bed.

 

Having said that, the newer antifungals such as terbinafine (ingredient in Lamisil) do work a little quicker and appear to be a little stronger, so I would suggest trying that and you can get the generic versions.

 

The other thing is to remember to wash undergarments thoroughly and wear a clean pair every day if you can and see if you can find antifungal laundry detergent (I think Amazon sells some).

 

Good luck.

I've always had success with a 5% solution of copper sulphate. Spray on, leave 24 hours, wipe off then rinse off.

Better than chlorine bleach, no fumes.

plain old bleach ( sold brand name Haiter) ..... easier to copy google than explain:

 

For killing mold with bleach use a ratio of one cup of bleach per gallon of water (ie about 1 part bleach to 10 parts water). Apply the solution to non-porous surfaces with mold growth either by using a spray bottle or by using a bucket and a sponge or cloth.

 

 

bleach is strong stuff.   cover yourself up and don't breathe it in .   For DIY painters,  any surface with mold on it should be washed down thoroughly with bleach solution as part of prep work.   otherwise what you paint over will NOT kill the mold and it will surface again in time

Yes, I agree but add equal amount of white vinegar for best results.

Mixing bleach with vinegar can produce dangerous chlorine gas!

Thanks, I've just ordered Terbinafine cream on-line hopefully delivered within 3 or 4 days. Keen to give it a try.

 

Thanks again.

Just finished day 1. I'll have another go tomorrow with a fresh 30% yellow Haiter bleach to finish off the areas that still aren't perfectly white.

 

I didn't use the mop - stupid idea. Gravity being the main problem. A thick white cloth and step ladder worked fine.

 

Yesterday:                                                                                and today:

Agree, but bloody expensive stuff here.

just checked the local Tesco - 0.5 L bottle costs mere 360 THB and will last you a year.

Look up lamisil and then buy the Thai equivalent for athletes foot and jock itch.  Some of the jock itch is caused by dry skin on our ageing bodies.  Sometimes just a body lotion keeps jock itch away.

Never did do it again - overnight the bleach appeared to have whitened it even more.
