Fungal infection.. Also called jock itch, when occurs in groin.. 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, bacterial and viral infection, doctor need to see to confirm the diagnosis..So, meet me in my clinic or do direct online consultation by sending photos for detailed information and medicine for treatment.

Tinea capitis s a very common fungal problem. Nowadays, patient often have resistance to 150mg weekly dose of flucnozole.50mg daily will not enough bioavailability to act effectively. Taking Tab Terbinafine 250mg one daily is more likely to be effective but you need to take treatment for a prolonged duration depending on the extent of involvement. Get it properly assessed by a qualified certified dermatologist and take the recommended treatment. Or you can send pictures with private online consultation for recommended treatment. Hope this is helpful.
