Fungal infection in the groin
Hi, am suffering fro fungal infection in the groin for 2years. First it was started at one place, I have neglected initially and felt shy to consult a doctor, then it was spreading to two sides of thighs and towards to stomuch and became black colour. Then I realised and asks a doctor, he suggested clobeta gm cream, levocit and fluka-150 tablets. When am using these three medicines it's controlling, when I stopped continue for 2days then it's starting iching and ring warms are spreading. Doctor said don't use much the fluca-150 but without using fluca -150 day by day it's not controlling. Am very suffering with theses decease, kindly suggest best medicine and precautions should I take to cure completely from this. Thank you so much.
