This could be early stage of psoriasis. Hip is a pressure area as we sit it gets all the pressure.
Take gandhak rasayan 2 tab twice a day after meals
Haridra khand 2 tsf with one glass lukewarm water at night
Apply marichadi tail over the affected area. That may cause a bit of pain in cuts and itching
Next Steps
Avoid long sitting. Use cotton clothes and wash them with anti septics.

Fungal infections in the **hip, groin, or buttock area** are very common â especially in hot, humid conditions or if thereâs prolonged sweating/friction (like sitting for long hours). If it's recurring or persistent (like in your case, lasting 2+ months), it often needs **internal treatment, proper hygiene**, and **dietary correction**, not just creams.
Letâs address it in a complete way.
--
## ð Diagnosis (likely)
Youâre likely dealing with **Tinea Cruris** (jock itch) â a **fungal infection** in the groin/hip region.
---
## ð¿ Ayurvedic Understanding
In Ayurveda, this is a **Kushta Roga**, often caused by an imbalance of **Kapha + Pitta + Rakta Dushti**, poor digestion, and excess sweating/toxins in the system.
---
## â Treatment Plan
### 1. ð¿ **Topical Treatment (External)**
Use **antifungal + soothing agents**:
Consult us personally for medicines.
> â Avoid using **Desowen** (a steroid) long-term â it weakens skin and increases fungal regrowth.
---
### 2. ð **Internal Ayurvedic Medicines**
Take for 4â6 weeks under our guidance:
> These can be taken after food with lukewarm water. Preferably consult an Ayurvedic doctor for personalization.
---
### 3. ð² **Diet to Follow**
Avoid foods that feed fungal growth:
#### â Foods to Avoid:
* Sugar, jaggery, sweets
* Curd, cheese, paneer (especially at night)
* Maida, bakery, bread
* Fried and oily foods
* Excess tea/coffee
* Alcohol
#### â Eat:
* Warm, fresh, home-cooked meals
* Neem, karela, turmeric, amla
* Whole grains (millet, rice, wheat in moderation)
* Light khichdi with ghee
* Triphala at night (¼ tsp with warm water) to clean bowels
---
### 4. ð Hygiene & Lifestyle
* Wear **cotton, loose clothes** â avoid tight pants or synthetic fabric
* Change undergarments twice daily
* Always **dry area completely** after bath
* Avoid sitting in sweat for long hours
* **Iron your undergarments** â fungal spores can survive washing
---
### 5. ð§¼ Natural Home Remedy (Optional)
* **Neem + Turmeric Paste**: Mix neem leaf powder + turmeric with rosewater or aloe vera gel. Apply for 20 mins, then wash off. Do this only once a day if no sensitivity.
---
## â³ When to See a Doctor
Right now you should consult us before it starts spreading, oozing**, or **burning more** rashes comes**
* If skin is darkening or becoming thin â stop all steroid creams
---
Would you like a **step-by-step daily routine (diet + external application + internal meds)** based on your lifestyle? I'm happy to provide that.
for that consult us.
You likely have a chronic fungal infection (tinea cruris). Steroid creams like Desowen give only temporary relief and can worsen the condition long-term.
"Chronic fungal infection needs internal and external care. Ayurveda helps well. Use Nimbadi Kwath internally (after food, 10â15 ml twice daily with warm water) and apply Triphala Churna paste or Nimbadi Taila externally. Keep area dry, wear loose cotton clothes, and avoid sweets, curd, fermented foods, and excess oil/spices. Bath with neem leaf water. For lasting cure, consult me for personalized detox and immunity strengthening."
