Fungal infections can spread all over the body if not taken proper care in the initial stages of infection. Moisture and tight clothing can precipitate spread of infection, These days fungal infections are having lot of resistance with the regular anti-fungal medication. Higher anti fungal medication like itraconazole should be used in higher dosages, these medication should be taken under supervision.

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and genital area. 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 panderm, quadriderm, dermi 5, 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. Other memebers of house who are having infection should be treated simultaneously otherwise infection may recur.
