Brief Answer:
Possible Tinea cruris with superadded bacterial infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, XXXXXXX
I have gone through your uploaded images as well.
This possibly represents mixed polymicrobial surface infection.
This is a combination of Tinea Cruris, a fungal infection with superadded bacterial infection.This is certainly not a case of Scabies as earlier diagnosed.
For this, you need dual antibiotic therapy- antifungal plus antibacterial.
I generally recommend my patients oral tablets of Fluconazole and Doxycycline for 2 weeks.Additionally I recommend topical application of Clotrimazole twice a day for 2 weeks to the affected area.This should offer you complete cure.Please check with your physician if shares my view and if can prescribe them to you.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
