Hello friend,
Itching in groin and lower abdomen is most likely due to fungal infection. If not treated properly or given combination creams containing steroids, it may recurr again and again lasting for years together.
So, by your description, it is most likely a fungal infection.
You may start him on tab fluconazole once a week along with topical terbicip cream twice daily application over the lesions only . continue the treatment for atleast 2 weeks.
Daily bath with soap and water and wash clothes.
Or better if you can upload the pic of the lesion, i can surely tell you about the diagnosis before strating the treatment.
Thanx
