Fungal Rash Since 3 months
I have a fungal rash on my inner thigh near groin area, since 3 months now. It was only one small patch when I consulted a dermatologist and was taking Itaspor tablet every day, along with ketoliz, Lulinol and Amfun cream. I use keto soap along with Absorb powder, wear loose pants and also keep it dry. However even during the treatment period my fungal rash has only increased and grown worse and more itchy. Now there are two very huge patches and they only seem to be growing. I have changed doctors and all have prescribed me the same medicine content with different names.
It is now growing on the second thigh, and has become unbearable. I am very scared of it only becoming worse.
Can someone please tell me what more can I do?

Fungal infections in the groin and buttocks are commonly referred to as ringworm, jock itch or tinea cruris. They occur when certain types of fungi, such as dermatophytes, grow and multiply in warm and moist areas of the body, like the groin.
Symptoms of a fungal infection in the groin may include:
Red, itchy rash: The affected area often becomes red, itchy, and inflamed. The rash may have well-defined edges and small, raised blisters or scales.
Itching and burning: The rash can cause intense itching and a burning sensation, which can be uncomfortable.
Peeling or cracking skin: The skin in the groin area may become dry, flaky, or start to peel.
Odor: Fungal infections can sometimes cause an unpleasant odor.
If the symptoms persist or worsen despite self-care measures, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional or dermatologist. They can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment options, which may include prescription-strength antifungal medications.
