Fungal infection at groin and buttocks
I have fungal infection near left groin and buttocks from past 2 months. Had consulted local physician he prescribed initially dexoderm nf cream with fcn 200(fluconazole) tablet once a week which didn't reduce even after few weeks of treatment. Later he prescribed allderm plus Cream and itratik 200 capsule (itraconazole) daily for 15 days but the fungal infection didn't get cured. Iam also using candid clotrimazole soap to clean infected area. I am maintaining well hygiene,wearing loose clothes but still the infection persists. I don't know if these creams contain steroids as there's talk of avoid using steroid based creams.currently there's lockdown at my place hence cannot visit any other skin specialist. Please suggest me better medicine as it's become quite irritating for me.

Treatment depends on the severity...Fungus or yeast infection....common around skin folds like thighs and genitals.. avoid sweating, sharing clothes,towels and soap.. specific medicine required depends on the severity.. for detailed prescription do direct online consultation by sending photos.

Allderm contains clobetasole which is a very high potent steroid...please don't use it... kindly consult online with relevant photographs for proper diagnosis and management
