What Causes Persistent Inflammation In The Groin?
I have an inflamation in the groin that first appeared on Dec. 2. I ve been to two doctors, one a dermatologist, and have been treated with lotrimin for 7 days and now with hydrocotisone for 4 days. Neither helped and whatever I have is slowly spreading. How do I find out what it is I have so I can get proper treatment. I m tired of guesswork and my life is miserable.

Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to a local infection. For this reason, I recommend performing a skin biopsy for fungal infection and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR). You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
