White patches on groin
Hi! I have white patches on my groin and it has some white heads but some of those white heads were already removed. I'm not sure what exactly this is but I went to see a derma 2 weeks ago and she just prescribed Foskina B and told me to use it for one week because the thing on my groin was inflamed because I also put Ap-ap solution thinking it might help. Also, the white patches seem to spreading even though I've been using Foskina B for 2 weeks now. Do you know what this condition is?

Fungal infection.. Also called jock itch, when occurs in groin.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema, bacterial and viral infection, doctor need to see to confirm the diagnosis..So, meet me in my clinic or do direct online consultation by sending photos for detailed information and medicine for treatment.
