Dark patches with few little red spots.
Hi. There are dark patches with few red spots around my groin area. After few days, red spots started appearing just above the groin area. Also, may be due to contact with that spot, they appeared on the foreskin too. All of these were itchy in the beginning but, are not itching now.
My groin area was infected in the same way last year, and Terbinaforce Plus cream had healed it. But, this time, the cream seems to be ineffective. What is this condition? What can I do to heal them?

Fungal infection or Ring worm.. when occurs in groin, called as jock itch.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment..So, please send photos of the affected area by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
