Are antifungal tablets better if cream is too painful? (lemmy.ml)

So I don't know if it's ringworm or a yest infection I try antifungal cream but it's way too painful and usually comes back anyway with no change. Taking showers does help and yeah if I hadn't taken a shower in so long it really will become red and itch even more. And if it's active the antifungal cream hurts so it's difficult to put on. I am thinking of trying antifungal tablets so it doesn't hurt. Does this sound good?

Is this a GP you talked to or dermatologist? I talked to about 4 different GPs/doctors over 2 years regarding spots which they all though were fungal infection before finally getting referral for dermatologist who was like nah it ain't that, don't waste time on steroid based cream and prescribed something else that worked.
