Skin infection
I have skin infection, dryness and rashes between my legs. I'm assuming it's fungal infection. Please suggest me what do I need to do? Do I need to visit it a dermatologist or would there be any medicine or creams available?

Thanks for the query. Fungal infection is becoming an increasing problem due to rampant usage of antifungals. Please see a dermatologist as some extra medications are coprescribed many a times to treat. If needed a simple skin test can also be done. Till then use only OTC anti-allergic medications to control itching. Personal hygiene should be good. Wear loose fitting clothes. Hope it helps you Dr MK Agarwala
