After reading history,it seems that most probably you suffer from Tinea cruris. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper diagnosis.

You may follow as below..

- cap itroconazole 100 mg twice a day for two weeks
- apply sertaconazole cream on affected areas
- continue sprinkling the abzorb dusting powder after bath
- avoid bathing with soap..you may use dettol liquid ...few drops in bucket
- keep the area dry
