View allI'm dealing with this fungal infection for around 6 months now. I tried using dermiford k5 cream, but it only seems to help for a little while before the infection comes back. Im really concerned and a bit frustrated. What do you think I should do next?

I'm dealing with some discomfort from tinea cruris. Could you recommend a medication that would help with this? I'm not sure what to use and I want to make sure I choose the right treatment.
You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs 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.

I've been dealing with this jock rash and tried putting vinegar on it, but now my skin's peeling. Should I be worried about this reaction? Is there something else I should do to make it better?
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
