Should you use clotrimazole or butenafine hydrochloride on jock itch?

I read a study that said both drug are affective, but Butenafine heals faster. It would make sense (though I've never tried it) if one switched between them day to day. That way the infection wouldn't build up a resistance to either drug.
If the rash is peeling, it may help to mix in some Hydrocortizone cream. And perhaps some Neosporen at times.
