The skin is turned dry and looks like inflammation around the effected areas. I don't know how to describe it further. The area that I developed this kind of infection is below my Naval and lower parts (undergarment area)

I will try to upload the pic later tonight.

Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
You have developed fungal infection.
The area of groin is moist and is prone to develop these infections.
Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.
Various antifungal powders like candid are available.
These can help reduce the moisture as well as control the infection.
Please dont use any steroid, it can worsen your condition
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
