hi gretings from health care magic
the groin area is generally sweat and deprive of free air and light. so there is maximum chance of fungal infection. always wear dry and washed under wear. spray any anti fungal powder like candid powder. when you are at home try to wear loose cloth. if still it is not getting any improvement then can consult to any dermatologist. Homeopathy also helps alot in those cases . so can take homeopathy treatment too. Thank you

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum,
Seems like you have got fungal infection over groins...use tab fluconazole 150mg once a wk for 4 wks... apply ketoconazole cream locally ...For itching you can take tab cetrizine (10mg)..daily once for 7 days...this would help you good.
Take care,
Dr.chawda

hi treatment for fungal infection is need to use antifungal treatments that are applied directly to your skin in the infected area.There are some steps you can take to prevent fungal skin infection. You should:
dry your skin carefully after bathing
wear loose fitting clothes and underwear
choose cotton socks and natural fibre underwear to allow your skin to breathe
not share towels, hair brushes, and combs
wash bed linen and clothes often to get rid of fungal spores,wear synthetic fibres that 'wick' the sweat away from the body, helping to keep your skin dry, if you're exercising
If you have diabetes, you need to keep your blood sugar levels under control.
