I'm a bit worried because I used antibiotic cream on a fungal infection rash, and it seems like the rash only got worse. So now I'm wondering, if I use antifungal cream on a rash that's not painful, and it ends up getting worse, could it mean it's another type of infection? Or can antifungal cream make any type of infection worse, kind of like how the antibiotic cream did?

I'm really struggling with jock itching and I'm not sure what to do about it. I looked it up online and it seems like that's definitely what it is. Any advice on how to treat or relieve it would be really appreciated.

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
