Next Steps
The description and appearance of the large patch in the groin area with distinct borders, along with similar spots on other parts of the body, are classic presentations of Tinea Cruris (Jock Itch) and Tinea Corporis (Ringworm). These are fungal infections that thrive in warm, moist areas of the body. The 'white borders' or clearing in the center is a common feature where the infection spreads outward in a circular pattern, leaving a central area that appears to be healing but remains part of the active infection."
Health Tips
For a specific prescription and a detailed hygiene plan to prevent the fungus from returning, please book a full consultation session via my Practo profile."

From the photos, this does look more consistent with a fungal type skin infection and these are usually treatable with the right approach 👍
Since groin rashes can sometimes look similar to other skin conditions, a proper review would help avoid wrong creams and repeated recurrence. You can book a consultation, I’ll guide you step by step for proper recovery 😊
