Hello,
Ringworm in the groin area (tinea cruris) is a common fungal infection that can be treated effectively with proper care. The duration of treatment typically depends on the severity of the infection. It's important to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid scratching to prevent the infection from spreading.
Next Steps
I recommend an online consultation to evaluate your condition and provide personalized guidance on treatment. I am happy to help you through this process.
