Help regarding fungal infection
I have constant itching in my groin area and left armpit, with some white scales getting formed. When itched too much the white scales start bleeding.
I daily wash those areas with ketoconazole soap (novale Soap) and apply cipla clocip b ointment in that area once every 3 days, but there is no improvement. Can you please suggest any medication for it.
