Fungal infection
I am suffering from some sort of fungal infection near armpits, thighs and chest region. It's like suddenly the area turns pinkish and then forms a circle kinda thing. And leaves a itchy sensation.
So far I have been using tetmosol anti fungal cream initially it was very effective but now doesn't seem to help me much. In recent times it's got too often and the cream is also not having much affect .. a medical shop person recommended me to use ketoconazole soap which I have been using since last week, but not much of difference even after that.
Please tell me what medication can I go for inorder to get a permanent riddance from the problem.

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please call me or contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household.
