How To Cure Itchy Red Rashes In The Groin Area?

I started with a red, extremely itchy rash in my groin area a week ago. I was taking Omnicef at the time for a u.t.i so my GYN assumed it was an allergic reaction. Also, nightime cramping in my legs and knees began when the rash appeared. The rash has now spread to my neck, scalp, arms/underarms, bra line, abdomen, and legs. I am taking Prednisone, and Diflucan for possible candida. The rash isn't clearing with the steroid. When I wake up in the morning, the rash is at its itchiest and subsides as the day goes on, but I find new areas where its spread as well. What is this? Do I see an allergist, immunologist or dermatologist? I have no clue.

Hi,

You might be suffering from tenia cruris, terbinafine cream can be used twice daily and oral itraconazol is the preferred drug for treating this.

Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.
