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?

I sent a PM.

Some questions:

Is it warm to the touch? How big is it? What is the shape? Color? Location? Is there exudate? Is it more dry or more moist than the surrounding skin? Is it elevated or depressed?
