Itching In Groin, Temporary Relief With Medicines, Got Black Patches Around Groin With Certain Medicine. Remedy?
I have a problem of itching in groins since long time & unable getting relief.. Said to be fungal infection . Certain creams partially worked needing daily application.. Some deodorants also gave some relief on daily use basis. But One brand of deodorant proved allergic as it developed black patches all around the groins. Can you kindly suggest remedy for this?

For correct diagnosis the images of the lesions and more info like duration,presence or absence of other lesions would be needed.
You can apply clotrimazole cream over the affected area and take Tab zyrtec for itching.
Also oral antifungals and antibiotics may be needed for faster relief.
With images of the affected area and details of the symptoms a proper diagnosis can be made.
Images can be uploaded by the premium questions area.
I encourage you to visit a qualified dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this helps.
