Suggest Treatment For Ring Worm Infection In The Groin Area
Question: Hi,
I have had ring worm infection in groin(jock itch) and i took trfy tablet and seriva ointment
and Kz soap for 2 months and it seems be recovering.
Earlier when infection was around it was red, very itching with small boils and burning. Now it has turned super black and there are no boils but occasionally itching.
Do i need to change the medicine or how do i go about this ?

You seem to have developed post inflammatory hyperpigmentation secondary to tinea.
