Suggest Treatment For A Painful Rash On The Groin Area

I have developed a very angry rash on my upper inner thighs underneath my scrotum which has just moved onto the groin area. I ve never had this type of thing before but have been under stress lately. I have been keeping that area moist with lotion but it is persisting after a week.

Dermatologist 's  Response
My Dear

Welcome to Healthcaremagic!
I have assessed your description of the problem and think that this description matches with that of a Ring Worm infection. The following measures proved very helpful in clearing such lesions in my patients

1 Keep the area dry

2 Beginning with cream containing Miconazole and Clobetasone, switch over to plain Miconazole

3 anti allergic like Cetirizine control itching very well

4 Terbinafine is helpful in killing the fungus

5 taking acre of hygiene, ventilation of the area, and reducing perspiration are other great ways to check the problem

6 Reduce weight if you are obese and keep you sugar levels in normal range

I am sure this helps you a lot.

Best wishes
