Suggest Medications For Rash On Chest

Hi, I have a rash on my chest and one in my upper thigh/groin area. The one on my chest is itchy, but the one in groin area is just painful (probably because it's constantly rubbed walking) but I'm pretty sure they appeared around same times about a week ago, and are not getting better.

Hi,

You have lesions on chest and groin areas. They are itchy. The lesion in groin area is painful. This much history suggests that probably you are having fungal infections ..tinea cruris in groin little infected with bacteria and tinea corporis in chest. However, you consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Antifungal like ketoconazole for two weeks may be taken along with antihistaminics like levocetirizine. Short course of antibitics may be taken. Apply antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream. Avoid soap during bath. Use dettol in water for bath. I you may be alright.
I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
