IMO if you are at the stage of a fungal infection requiring oral formulations of Lamisil then you should probably seek out a doctor. Have you already gone through a regimen of fluconazole?
Messing around with anti-fungals is a lot like messing with antibiotics. Resistance is a very real thing and you don't want to be going from a strong anti-fungal then stopping when you feel better and then going back on another anti-fungal that's actually weaker.
I would absolutely suggest you see a dermatologist if you can. If not, then I wish you luck because I've known a handful of individuals that spent over a year getting a strange fungal infection to finally disappearing. The common denominator in all of them is they just bought a bunch of creams and tried them all for a little bit, then eventually went to the doctor after like 6 months because the rash/infections simply were not going away completely and causing extreme discomfort.
The effectiveness of the stronger anti-fungals prescribed to them did not have the positive result that the doctors were expecting. Some of these individuals still have whatever infections they started with/or changed into.
My 2 cents.
