Suggest Treatment For Painful Rash On Groin And Back

My sister has a burning painful rash on her left groin and a spot on her lower back.. We put Benadryl cream on it thinking it was a bite but it just seemed to make it worse is there anything we can do? She has a ice pack on right now that seems to be helping a bit

Hi.
As per your case history your sister is probably having fungal infection called as tinea cruris.
My treatment advice -
1. Tell her to wear loose clothes. Maintain hygiene.
2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily.
3. Give an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for itching.
4. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine.

Thanks.
