Question: hi i have a rash in my groin area that can be itchy what do i need to do and what medication can i get over the counter
Brief Answer:
jock itch
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
YOu have this new rash in your inguinal and leg area with itching., The picture you provided demonstrates very clearly that you have a fungal infection or what is commonly called jock itch. This is treated with a topical anti-fungal like lamisil or tinactin. You can use either the powder or cream though I prefer my patients to use the powder as it helps keep the area dry and allow for better healing
In summary
1. fungal infection or Jock itch
2. Use over the counter tinactin or lamisil powder or cream
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
