View allI've been dealing with this really annoying fungal infection around my groin and scrotum area. The itchiness is driving me nuts, and every time I scratch, it starts to burn even more. It's like a vicious cycle. I tried using some btex cream, but it didn't really help. Can you suggest what I should do to get some relief?
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.

I've been dealing with some itching around my bikini lines, and I've tried using itch guard cream and candid dusting powder, which seem to help at first, but the problem keeps coming back in the same spot. Now I've also developed a ringworm on my thighs. What should I do about this?
candid cream for local application , tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient..
