You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. 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, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please call me or 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

The problem the you are reporting could indeed be a fungal infection of the skin. It needs to be treated with proper antifungal tablets and creams to completely eliminate the infection from the skin. However without proper examination and CONFIRMATION of the cause, treatment cannot be advised. Get an online consult or meet a dermatologist directly for a proper evaluation of the condition. Hope this was helpful.
