It takes time for the medication to take effect, and in such cases it takes over 3 days for small changes to be seen. It is likely to be a tine cruris(jock itch). You will require antifungal tablet and a topical antifungal cream to apply. These following steps may help:
- Avoid using oily skin products
- Reduce your exposure to the sun. Exposure to sun may trigger or worsen an episode and a tan makes the rash more visible.
- Do not wear tight clothing.
- Change undergarments regularly
- Wear breathable fabrics such as cotton to decrease the sweating.
- Keep areas where there is sweat accumulation dry regularly and apply powder in those areas to reduce the moisture.
If the problem is persistent I would advise you to meet a dermatologist.
