What Causes Skin Burn Upon Using Vusion Ointment For Fungal Infection?
I am being treated for fungal infection in the groin. I was using Vusion ointment that seemed to burn the skin and at the same time small holes appeared in the left groin. I was prescribed a new topical treatment, hot compresses and oral antibiotics. I see my dermatologist on 7/23

Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think this can be a viral infection rather than bacterial or fungal infection.
I believe it can be herpes 2 according to your symptoms.
It would be better if you attach a photo of the rash in reports for me to see the conditions of your skin.
You may need to visit your dermatologist earlier.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
