I've been dealing with these red bumps and itching along the sides of my waist for over a year now. The doctor gave me some medicine to take and told me to use Tenovate cream until it cleared up. But as soon as I stop using the cream, the problem comes back within just a couple of days. It's leaving dark spots and making my waist look kind of ugly. It's not about hygieneI shower daily, even twice sometimes. My clothes are clean, though I do wear some tight clothing from time to time. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been dealing with jock itching for the past two months, and it's just not going away. I've tried using some creams, and while the itch sometimes gets a bit better, it keeps coming back. Is there anything else I can do to get rid of it for good? It's really frustrating!

I've been having a really tough time with what I think is ringworm around my anus. They've got those classic round ring-like patterns, and it's been going on for around 2 months now. I've been using Terbinaforce cream and Kencel IT 100 tablets, but they haven't done much to help. The itching is so intense, and sometimes I scratch so much that my skin actually gets cut. I'm really not sure what to do next and could use some guidance. What do you recommend?

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
