Hi,
If it is tinea cruris, it will take a minimum of 11/2 months for complete recovery , when u start antifungal treatment initially there will be improvement but if u discontinue and not complete the course it will recur. As skin over your private parts is very sensitive , using sanitiser will only make it worse , only candid powder will not be sufficient.
