Rashes and itching

2017-07-11 14:29:57
I have itching and redness in the inner thighs near the groin area. The itching increases when there is sweat and it also increases when touched with fingers. I have recently started going for jogging, and this rash and itching occurred after that. It has been almost a month now. I have used ZOLE-F, FOUR DERM and EFADERM but none of them worked. Plz help.

You may be 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, zole f, 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 or 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.
