Hello doctor,I am 25 years old. I am suffering from jock itch (fungal infection). I got infected eight months ago. I took medication and it got cleared after six months. But after two months it again showed up on my groin area. I do not know what to do know. Could you please suggest something?
Hello. It seems to be a fungal infection as per provided image (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You can be prescribed 2 % Sertaconazole or 1 % Luliconazole cream over the affected area. Oral Itraconazole also can be prescribed, if needed. As you are having repeated fungal infection, rule out diabetes by random blood sugar estimation. Keep that area dry and avoid moisture. Clothes should be cleaned in warm water. I suggest you consult a dermatologist for examination and get prescription.
