Hello
Thanks for the query.
Tinea infection requires treatment with topical or oral antifungals depending upon the extent of involvement.
You can start applying ointment Luliconazole twice daily for a month.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
This will help in giving a closer diagnosis and better way of management.
Thank you.

Thanks a lot Doctor Rahul!
Some photographs of groin, thigh areas indicating the extent of infection. I have been facing the problem for ~ a month now, it has reduced a lot after using tropical antifungal ointments, however, itching and infection seems to have returned. I will look to start with Luliconazole, also - please advise if any other diagnosis or medications would be needed.
