You have used steroid cream in the past, that is why skin is going through withdrawal. Please contact me using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment. Yes this is fungal infection

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..Do direct online consultation for detailed prescription
