Fungal infection resulting in rashes with itching occurring at skin fold in the body like groins, armpits and buttock ares are opportunitstic infections on the skin. They are very simple infections and gets cured completely if you follow proper hygiene, do’s and don’ts advised by dermatologist and following the prescription without break in the course and confirming the cure by dermatologist after the specified treatment period. Any deviations from the above said things will result in repeated infection
