Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You have a fungal infection between your thighs. It is called as tinea cruris. Regular treatment for at least one month is required to cure it completly. Use oint clotrimazole in night and clotrimazole powder in day. Do this for one month complete on regular basis.
Regarding scars on face and back, these are due to acne. You can use nilac ac gel daily in night. Apply this gel keep for two hours and wash off. In day you must apply a sun screen. Apart from this use acne lak soap. This will help you. Let me know if you have any other doubt. Thank you.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
