General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

It might be due to the fungal infection called 'TINEA CRURIS', where the rashes itches or burns. It occurs in the skin around groin, inner thighs, and buttocks. I advise you to take:
- Tab. Itraconazole 100mg OD for 4-6 weeks
- Maintain good self hygiene followed by application of candid powder in the day time or Terbinafine cream at night for 2 weeks
If not responding to above treatment, then rule out underlying predisposing factors like Diabetes, immuno-suppressive disorders etc. The only home remedy is to maintain good hygiene and to wash the clothes properly.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
