Brief Answer:
Oral and topical antifungal

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and viewed the image.

You seem to have fungal infection of groin in this picture . I suggest you to use an oral antihistamine e.g cetirizine 10mg tablet once a day for symptomatic relief from itching. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antifungal e.g fluconazole 150mg tablet or itraconazole 100mg capsule once a day for 2 weeks..You may also use ketoconazole 2% cream, twice daily on the affected area.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
