Brief Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX XXXX, Welcome to XXXXXXX forum.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX XXXX,
Welcome to XXXXXXX forum.
With the available described details, there could be high possibility of Tinea cruris.
Tinea cruris is a type of fungal infection which commonly affects groin region and common in males.
Tinea cruris gets aggravated with frequent sweating with dry weather.
You should consult with XXXXXXX medicine specialist/ dermatologist and should go for thorough check up.
You should also go for KOH mount preparation of affected skin scrapings.
Resolve Plus contains antifungal and corticosteroid ointment.
If I will be your treating doctor then I would like to prefer use of only antifungal ointment containing Clotrimazole/ micanazole.
Wear soft cotton clothes and avoid applying talc powder and soap.
Take care,
Let me know your other associated query.
Wishing a speedy recovery.
