Hello dear Understand your concern/ Kindly upload the picture for better diagnosis. I think it dermatitis or fungal infection It may be a side effects of itraconazole. It will disappear after stoping drugs Consult the dermatologist. Meanwhile take following advice: Wear pure cotton loose inner wear Continue your drug Tablet cefuroxime. Tablet cetrizine Warm pad compression Ointment clotrimazole plus hydrocortisone. Change the garments after workout. Avoid perspiration and irritation.
Hope this may help you Best regards Dr. Sagar
