Severe jock itch
I have a severe itch all around my groin area. I have tried applying anti fungal cream and tried aloevera, but it's of no use. Furthermore the affected area is only getting bigger and has spread to glutes. I do keep a good hygiene, i take shower after workout session. Now i cannot even go for a run as the affected area burns while I'm working out.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

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, cloben g 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
