I'm dealing with this really annoying rash that started back in January after intercourse. It was just a rash at first but then turned into ringworm, and I've been on and off with medication. Switched to homeopathy and it seemed to help, but then I had to move to Jaipur for work and ever since, the itching has only gotten worse. What should I do?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, taking an oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once a day can also help. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal items to prevent spreading the infection.
