Suggest Treatment For Itchy Rash On Breast And Groin

I worked in the heat at a wedding about a month ago. I now have a rash on my breast and groin area. It looks like i am starting to get it on my stomach. It is burns and its itchy. I have been using over the counter fungal cream and powder, but I don t think I m getting better.

It is known as Jock itch and Tinea fungus is the causative agent.

Management:-
*Take a shower with Oatmeal Milk and Honey Body Wash. No scented soaps.
*Take Tablet Loratadine and Tylenol.
*Apply Hydrozole cream on the affected areas after properly cleaning the skin.
*Do Under-shave the skin timely before getting the hair long. Longer hair get moist and humid and sebum accumulates making a best place for the fungi to grow and cause more problems.
*Wear ALL-Cotton-Only Undergarments and loose clothes.
*Avoid (if possible) hot humid and dry weather climate areas. Don't move outside without any reason.
