Chafing at groin

2025-11-28 12:02:31
Hi, recently i had participated in the half marathon run and later noticed a small rash kind of cut near the groin. I am using candid dusting powder and participated again in a practice run.. the chaffing cut a little increased and burning more today.. Could you suggest any ointment? It does not look like fungal infection and clear skin cut maybe due dry skin.
