Based on your description, it appears to be tinea cruris—a common fungal infection affecting the groin area. Oral antifungals are often needed when topical treatment alone doesn’t help. Options may include terbinafine 250 mg once daily or itraconazole 100 mg twice daily, usually for 2–4 weeks, depending on severity.
Do not self-medicate without guidance, as incorrect or incomplete treatment can lead to resistance or recurrence.
Next Steps
Please visit your nearest dermatologist for proper clinical evaluation, as the exact dose and duration should be tailored to your specific condition, body weight, and any comorbidities.
Health Tips
Until then, keep the area clean and dry, avoid tight clothing, and use your prescribed antifungal cream twice daily. Never use steroid-based combination creams (like those with clobetasol or betamethasone), as they worsen fungal infections in the long run.
