Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir

I can certainly understand your concern.

The rash in your case is probably not related to the use of griseofulvin.

This rash is directly to fungal infection.

I can guide you better if you can upload images of the rash on face and genitals.

Post your further questions if any.
