Skin Fungus (Tinea) Treatment Online — Clear, Topicals-Only Plan
Itchy ring-shaped rash on the body, groin, or feet? TeleDirectMD connects you with a board-certified MD by secure video for just $49. When appropriate, we’ll send same-day prescriptions for topical antifungals and give you a simple, effective routine — no oral antifungals via tele-urgent care.
What Is Tinea?
Tinea (ringworm, jock itch, athlete’s foot) is a contagious skin fungus that causes itchy, scaly, sometimes ring-like rashes. Common sites:
- Tinea corporis (body)
- Tinea cruris (groin/jock itch)
- Tinea pedis (feet/athlete’s foot, often between toes)
How Our $49 Visit Works
- Smart Intake (2–3 min): Photos, duration, prior products, exposure risks (locker rooms, pets).
- MD Video Visit: Confirm typical pattern, rule out look-alikes (eczema, psoriasis), outline a clear plan.
- Prescription & Routine: If appropriate, we send an e-Rx and provide exact application timing and duration.
What We Commonly Prescribe (Topicals Only)
- Topical antifungals: terbinafine, clotrimazole, econazole, ciclopirox (choice depends on site and sensitivity)
- Barrier care: gentle cleansers, dry thoroughly after bathing, breathable fabrics
We do not prescribe oral antifungals via this pathway.
When In-Person Care Is Safer
- Scalp or hair involvement (tinea capitis) — typically requires oral therapy
- Nail involvement (onychomycosis) or very widespread rash
- Fever, rapidly spreading redness, draining pus, or severe pain
Self-Care to Prevent Recurrence
- Keep skin dry; change damp socks/underwear promptly
- Use shower sandals in locker rooms; don’t share towels
- Launder clothing/linens on hot cycle during treatment phase
