You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. 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, hh zole, 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.

Hello! The description you are giving seems to be a fungal infection also called tinea. Will require the photographs and a little detail of previous medications to provide you with an apt prescription. If it is a fungal infection then medicines can definitely cure it. Till then take precautions of keeping the affected area dry,wearing cotton clothes and avoid sharing of clothes ,towels and soaps with others to avoid spread of infection. Avoid applications of creams containing steroids such as fourderm,panderm etc.
