Hello.Superficial fungal infection of the body (Tinea corporis) and groins (Tinea cruris) is a chronically recurrent condition these days especially if topical steroids or other OTC preparations are used to treat it in the initial stages.As I have not seen ur pics,and dont know ur treatment details,it is difficult to comment on what medication to prescribe but here are certain pointers which may help. *Wash all your clothes,undergarments and bed linen in boiled water *Use an antifungal soap containing Ketoconazole with Salicylic acid. *Apply a topical antifungal cream containing Sertaconazole locally twice daily over the affected area. *Take Tab Itraconazole 200 mg,twice daily for a week and add Tab Levocetrizine 5 mg at night in case of itching *Use a dusting powder containing Clotrimazole twice daily. Hope this helps. Regards, Dr.Sanchit Talwar MD (Skin & VD) Dr.Talwar's Skin, Laser and Cosmetic Clinic CHANDIGARH.
