You are suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. It is also called jock itch. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi5, betnovate, dermikem OC, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household.

Fungal infection or Ring worm...highly itchy.. when occurs in groin it's called Jock itch. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of the body like skin folds. It's mostly circular or round in appearance..may be red or black in colour. Treatment depends upon the type and severity. Avoid sharing towels, clothes and soap. Sweating increases it. As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, it's a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment..So, please send photos of the affected area, by direct private online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
