Rough and itchy patches
I have a history of skin disorders though I take all possible precautions like frequently taking a bath, changing the underwear etc. Every summer I end up with a fungal infection that in my groin area which may even spread to parts of my penis.it is extremely irritating and very itchy. I end up consulting a doctor every season and have been suggested onabet ointment, candid ointment terbest and teczine tablets in the past. Though these medicines give me relief, the same situation arises in the following season. I have also been using an antifungal soap called novale.. Can someone kindly suggest some alternative medicine for this season, one that can get rid of this menace permanently. Or suggest which medicines of should be using. Lately, I have also developed itchy and rough patches on my forearm and elbow, they are red in color and like very minute pimples. End up bleeding if you scratch too much. What should I do,? I am more concerned about the infection in my groin. Pls help.

You must be having fungal infection. Fungal infection tends to affect folds of the skin, moist areas like groins, armpits, mouth, genitals, under the breasts, webs between fingers and toes, etc. Our skin protects us from fungal/yeast attack, but any cut or break in the continuity of the skin can allow penetration of fungus. It gives rise to rash, eruptions, redness, burning, intolerable itching and abnormal discharges at times. Fungal infection tends to last for many years if not treated well. It is also contagious. Avoid steroid containing creams like Zole F etc.  application of steroid containing creams Betnovate etc just suppresses it on surface but it grows beneath the skin and spreads everywhere and also becomes more resistant
