Homeopathy offers a very beneficial and effective mode of treatment that boosts the body’s healing processes to fight and eradicate fungal infection. Unlike conventional treatment, the natural Homeopathic remedies do not suppress fungal infection; these rather work to root out the underlying cause of fungal infections. The Homeopathic treatment, thus, provides a permanent cure by uprooting the cause of the infection.
A homeopathic constitutional treatment will give you a permanent cure naturally
You can easily take an online consultation for further treatment guidance and permanent cure without any side effects
Medicines will reach you via courier services

Hello,
All you have is a fungal infection in the groin. It itches a lot especially in the evenings and night.
Hygiene is a very important thing for you.
Keep the area clean and dry ie keep powdering it. Don't wear wet underwear.
Usually fungal infections go very well with Homeopathy treatment.
Next Steps
You can consult me or a nearby homeopath.

This seems to be a fungal infection called tinea versicolor. You will require an antifungal tablet and a topical antifungal cream. Measures that can be used to prevent the condition are:
- Avoid using oily skin products
- Reduce your exposure to the sun. Exposure to sun may trigger or worsen an episode and a tan makes the rash more visible.
- Do not wear tight clothing.
- Change undergarments regularly
- Wear breathable fabrics such as cotton to decrease the sweating.
- Keep areas where there is sweat accumulation dry regularly and apply powder in those areas to reduce the moisture.
If the problem is persistent I would advise you to meet a dermatologist.
