Itchy Red Rash in Groin

2025-09-12 17:02:06
Hello doctor, I have a red, itchy, scaly rash in my groin area. It started around week. I am currently applying terbinafine cream twice daily. There is some relief, but the rash is still present and I’m worried if this is jock itch or something else. No pus, no fever, no pain other than itching. Should I continue terbinafine cream or do I need oral antifungal treatment?

I advise you to consult a dermatologist online or in person, share clear pictures, and get a personalized treatment plan. Only after proper evaluation can the right medicines (creams/tablets) be prescribed
