I have a rash under the armpits,the groin area,behind the knees & it started on top of my foot,but has cleared up on my feet. I have been washing with an antibacterial soap & using an antifungal powder that seems to help but it not clearing it up completely.Do you have any idea what it could be and how to get rid of it?

hi.. the skin lesions you are seeing on the thigh/grion could be a fungal infection(tinea corporis) with secondary bacterial infection.. see your dermatalogist for the ointment and drug.. ointment containing antifungal and antibacterial ointment... it happens because the area is warm and miost.. use some antifungal dusting powder after the shower to prevent it in the future... wear dry, loose, comfortable and cotton clothes.. all the best..
