Skin Irritation
I've had skin irritation in my groin region for the past 3.5 years now. It all started with a normal fungal infection, cleared it off by applying steroid creams. Ever since then the skin has stretch marks and has become thin and itches 24/7. Visited 7-8 dermatologists, applied all kinds of creams and had millions of tablets but nothing seems to help. Recently got a Fungal KOH test done, which showed no signs of any infection. The itching stays all the time.

It may be neurodermatitis or flexural eczema. Every rash in groin is not fungal infection. Please send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment

Don't worry..100% cure possible..Fungal infection or Ring worm.. when occurs in groin, called as jock itch.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment..So, please send photos of the affected area by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
