How To Cure Rashes Around The Belt Line?

Hello, i have what appears to be a rash right along the beltline in the front. I have tried antifungal treatments, as well as proper fitting clothing to no major improvement. It has been present for approximately 3 months now. It appeared small (1 size) initially, yet it is now about 3 in diameter.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello
Thank you for posting on HCM
From your description, it seems you have got Tinea corporis, a sort of fungal skin infection.
I would recommend you consult a dermatologist for proper management.
I generally recommend proper course of oral antifungal drug like fluconazole / itraconazole along with local application of sertaconazole or luliconazole cream over affected areas.
Take oral antihistaminics for itching as required.
Hope this will take care of your problem
Thank you
Dr Hardik Pitroda
