What Can I Do About Very Red And Itchy Rashes In The Groin Area Despite Using Tinactin Cream
Brief Answer:
Topical and oral antifungal
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you.
I am Dr kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern.
You seem to have a fungal infection of groins. Sweat, heat, humidity and moisture are factors that seem to have precipitated the rash. I suggest you to use a topical antifungal e.g clotrimazole 1 % cream, twice daily for 4 weeks.. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antifungal e.g tab fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. You may also take a tab cetrizine 10mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching. These are prescription medications and I advice you to talk to your local practitioner for a prescription of the same.
Regards
