Jock itch or fungal infection
I have reddish and whitish skin which cause itching near to anus and it's growing nearby areas now. It's like jock itch. I'm suffering from this last 2 months. After taking medicine it ends but as I quit medicine after some time again it happens. Please suggest me some better medicine for that with doses.
