Fungal infection
I have recently got this fungal infection in my thigh. I tried some creams suggested by friends. I feel after a week it's again coming back. Can we get rid of it completely? Suggest some creams?

You may be 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.

Can you tell me what cream did you apply before? And I need photos so that can come to a diagnosis. And you will need oral medications as well based on the extent of disease. Can u send me few photos and drop in for a online consultation so that we can treat the disease.
