Hi, It seems that you developed candida infection in groin area. Candida intertwine. It is caused by Candida albicans. Severe perspiration, soap,excessive water contact.may exacerbate the condition. DM, HIV and other immunocompromised conditions should be ruled out. Antifungal tablets like ketoconazole for 2 to 3 weeks may be taken. Antifungal cream at night and antifungal powder in day time would improve the lesions. If there is itching, take antihistamines. Never use steroid locally and orally, as it may exacerbate the disease. Take detail bath. .avoid soap, clean the area and keep it Chat Doctor. I hope you got my answer. Thanks.
