default
Posted on Tue, 9 Sep 2014
Question: I have a very itchy tender rash on my entire groin area spreading to my thighs. It is purple blue black in colour. Have tried a " broad spectrum antimycotic with fungicidal action" skin ointmnent. It reduces the otch for a dau and then makes it worse. The itching is impossible to control. Please help. Even betnovate neomycin didn't help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for writing to us on HCM.
From your description it seems you have got Tinea cruris - a fungal infection of groin area but still its too difficult to say anything specific untill actual examination.
Thus for better understanding, I request you to kindly upload some good clinical pictures. You can mail pictures at YYYY@YYYY with subject titled : ATTN - D Hardik Pitroda.
Once I will review pictures, I will revert with proper management plan for you.
Thanks
Dr Hardik Pitroda
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
