Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Rashes On Buttocks And Underarms

I broke out in a rash on my hips buttocks and underarms about two weeks ago, I went to my dermo dr and he said that I had a viral rash. Can me TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE OINTMENT and said it might take a month to clear. A week later I was a whole lot better and then a week after that this past Saturday I broke out again, same parts of body but not exact same spots. Is there something else it could be? I feel fine other than the rash.

Hi.
As per your case history you are having fungal infection called as tinea corporis.
My treatment advice is –

1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine like levocetirizine for 7-10days .
4. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine given only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
