I've been struggling with tinea cruris since October 2015, and I've seen about 34 doctors and spent so much on treatments, but the issue just won't go away. At first, it seemed like the treatments were working a little, but now it feels like the condition is worse than ever. What should I do? Any advice would be appreciated.
