"   Question I have a rash between my legs that&amp;#039;s very irritable and tender.  There are little red blotches and the area is very warm all the time. I wash myself and change my underwear every single day and have used all types of creams. I don&amp;#039;t know what else to do. Can you give me any advice?   Answer Your symptoms are suggestive of a fungal infection(tinea cruris) of the skin. Timodine is often successful in clearing up the problem, containing an antifungal-nystatin, a mildly potent steroid and disinfectants.  It would be worthwhile visiting your doctor in order to obtain their confirmation about the diagnosis and treatment.  Generally speaking, creams are suitable for most areas, but oral therapy may become necessary if the skin infection is intractable.  One of the reasons that topical treatments sometimes fail is that they need to be applied three times daily, regularly for several weeks to be successful.  An example of oral therapy prescribed in the treatment of tinea in the region concerned is Itraconazole, either 100mg daily for 15 days or 200mg daily for seven days.  Another thing to note is that repeated fungal infection can occasionally point to an underlying disorder such as diabetes or a condition that might be compromising your immune system.  Therefore if this were to happen again in the future, it would be wise to consider urine and blood tests in addition to a broader physical examination so as not to overlook anything.
