I have been diagnosed with the above problem in my leg and crotch area. My problem was resolved after medication from doctor. But it suddenly started again. I now only use clocip powder twice a day after cleaning the area. Skin is dry and scaly in the affected area.

You are suffering from tinea cruris and corporis or dermatophytosis which is fungal infection of the thighs and Genital area. It can be treated completely. You have to take four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Please consult me in private chat with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household.
