I have a groin fungal infection ( I believe to be tinea curis) It first appeared over a month ago close to 6 weeks. In the past week and a half strong irritation and inflammation has arisen. The swelling causes pain and the inflammation has gone down but has spread over from my left side to my genitals and now it is appearing on my right side. In the past weak I have taken a antifungal cream containing cormitazol. there is considerable pain and I have limited mobility

Fungal infection.. Also called jock itch, when occurs in groin.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema, bacterial and viral infection, doctor need to see to confirm the diagnosis..So, meet me in my clinic or do direct online consultation by sending photos for detailed information and medicine for treatment.
