View allI had jock itch about 45 months ago, and even though I've recovered, I sometimes still get an itchy feeling around my groin. I've been using absorbent powder there every day. Is it safe to keep doing that? Could using the powder daily cause any long-term issues?

I'm concerned about my friend who was advised not to use steroids by the doctor. Would it be okay for him to take Suhagra tablets instead? I'm just worried and want to make sure he's making the right decision.

I've been dealing with a ringworm infection in my groin area for the past three months. It's been really itchy, and while using terbinafine cream and tablets seems to have helpedit's about 80% healed nowI'm still getting new ringworms in the same spot. The old ones are getting bigger, and my skin in that area has turned a light pink, lighter than the rest of my skin. Could this be tinea versicolor? And how long will it take to completely get rid of it?
Consult a dermatologist to reassess the persistent ringworm infection and skin discoloration, as it may not be tinea versicolor, and adjust treatment with oral antifungals or topical creams to achieve complete recovery, which may take 2-6 weeks.
