I'm dealing with a stubborn fungal infection around my genitals and it's been a real pain for about 3 years now. I've tried creams like Soframycin and taken Candistat tablets, but nothing seems to help long-term. It tends to get worse when I sweat, and it's really itchy and turns red. Im worried and don't know what else to try. Do you have any advice on what could work or whats causing this?
A persistent fungal infection near the genitals, especially one that increases with sweat and causes itching and redness, often requires strong, prolonged antifungal treatment. If the current treatment hasnt been effective, I recommend following up with your doctor for a more tailored approach, potentially involving oral antifungal medication and more careful management of moisture and hygiene in the affected area.

I've got these rashes that just showed up on both sides of my stomach, kind of around the lower part near my abdomen. There are two of themone on each side but both are on the same level. Should I be worried about this, and could it be something serious? What might be causing them, and how can I treat it?
That could be Tenia, maintain personal hygiene and needs to be treated with Oral and topical antifungal medications, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
