Hi.
As per your case-history your husband may have dermatophyte(fungal) infection
My treatment advice is-
1. Have proper hygienic care- Bath twice daily and keep clothes and other belongings isolated from other family members.
2. Take tablet fluconazole 150mg once a week
Take tab. levocetrizine 5mg twice daily
3. Continue lamisil cream twice daily
4. Use a clotrimazole dusting powder in axilla and groin
Thanks
