Fungal skin infection at groin
I've got a not itchy skin infection (I think fungal) at my groin. I've sent a photo. There is some round circles as you can see. And also a scaly black skin around those. Normally it is not so painful but when I use to walk it begins to pain. Pain gets high when I touch there. It's getting worse day by day. It has started 1 week ago. Now a sticky liquid (very little amount) is extracting from there. So please help me about this.

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. It is also called jock itch. 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 fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi5, betnovate, dermikem OC, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please call me or contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household.
