I am facing persistent skin infection on my buttocks and inner thigh regions , which comes and goes. It appears mostly during summer and rainy seasons then sort of goes away , but this has been been happening for few years.

You are suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. 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, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please call me and visit me clinic for treatment. You can also send photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment advice.
