Itchy patch

2026-05-06 17:56:48
Hello I am attaching a pic. This patch has been there for many days not only near the groin area. But on the stomach chest area multiple spots are there nearly 8 to 10 . and also near the private part. Is this any infection or psoriasis?

It is a fungal infection. Maybe associated with itching . Require a good moisturiser in the morning and antifungal cream at night. Maybe oral antifungals will be required and it depends on the history. Kindly take an online consultation for the appropriate antifungal tablets and creams.
