I have jock itch since four years, it's only on the scrotum not anywhere else. Because of the infection the skin gets eaten I think and gets too smooth as smells different. I've seen a doctor and took medication and used some anti-fungal ointments but after three weeks it started again I don't what to do for this stubborn infection. Any suggestions

The treatment for fungal infection is simple. You have to take anti fungal tablets and creams for 4 to 6 weeks following which it resolves. Do not apply soap on that area and do not self treat with over the counter steroid creams. Mistreatment with steroid creams like panderm, fourderm, betnovate, candid b etc and self treatment with cheaper generic medicine is the most common reason for recurrent disease. Another cause of recurrence is cross infection from other infected people in the house. Kindly call me or send photos using online consult option for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
