I have been to the doctor and I have a fungal infection in my groin area and anus and bottom area.  Im using nilstat and before that canesten, but it doesnt seem to be going.  Im a 56 year old female.  Are there antibiotics that can cure this infection?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern regarding fungal infection taking longer time to heal. Fungal infections are superficial infections but take at least 6 weeks to heal completely. Local application of nil stat will definitely help but groin infections also need extra precautions as to avoidance of tight clothes, maintenance of personal hygiene and cleanliness is a must. I suggest you get a prescription for antifungals like flu can which are effective against fungi causing skin infection of groin. But this treatment has to be continued for 6\u00a0weeks to 3 months. Antibiotics would not be helpful unless there is superimposed bacterial infection. Thanks
