Hello XXXXXXX
Thank you for writing to us on HCM.
From your history, it seems you have got fungal infection of groin called Tinea cruris but its too difficult to say anything conclusive in absence of actual examination.
Therefore, I request you to post good clinical pictures for better understanding.
You can mail pictures to YYYY@YYYY with the subject titled 'Attn : Dr Hardik Pitroda'.

Oral and topical antifungals
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thank you for the posting the picture.
As I rightly suspected you are having fungal infection called Tinea cruris/corporis.
I would recommend you consult a dermatologist for proper management.
I generally recommend proper course of oral antifungal drug like itraconazole 200 mg once daily for 10-15 days along with local application of sertaconazole or luliconazole cream twice a day over affected areas. for 4 weeks.
Take oral antihistaminics for itching as required.
Maintain hygiene and avoid tight undergarments.
Hope this will take care of your problem
