I have had jock itch for like 2 and a half yrs now! The jock itch and the itching sensation was thr for like 5-6 months! I continued with some medications and creams! The itching went away but the pigmentation part is still there! I have been applying some creams like ban a tan to reduce the darkening but its nt going! Are there any alternative treatments for the removal of pigmentation? Is laser poosible?

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. It is also called jock itch. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi5, betnovate, dermikem OC, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please contact me using online consult option 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.
