I'm currently undergoing treatment for pimples and scars on my face, and I'm wondering if it's okay to mix in some home remedies at the same time. Could home remedies cause any side effects while I'm on this treatment?

I'm dealing with a skin infection in my groin area and it's been going on for 20 to 25 days now. The skin on my inner thigh, right below the scrotum, has a foul smell and there's a blackish discoloration around it. Plus, I notice this thin, white, milky layer over the infected spot. Whenever I wear tight clothes, I get a burning feeling on a small part of the skin when I walk. I've been using clotrimazole, but it's not really helping. Could you give me some advice on what else I can do?
