You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. It is also called jock itch. 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, dermi5, betnovate, dermikem OC, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please 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.

Don't worry..100% cure possible..Fungal infection or Ring worm.. when occurs in groin, called as jock itch.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment..So, please send photos of the affected area by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

I understand your concern . This is common condition affecting active individuals who sweat a lot around armpits and groin area . Many people use steroid containing combination like fourderm, panderm cream or bentovate c cream. Fungus would get resistant following such applications.
Avoid tight fitting garments to control the sweat and appropriate 2 months of oral antifungal course would help in eliminating it completely.
Of late we are saying adult onset diabetes cases as well, in such case we go for certain blood tests as well. Do connect for further management!
