Skin infection treatment
I'm having this ring worm like skin infection in my crotch area from past few months. I used fourderm cream till the infection marks got lighter but the infection kept coming back. I keep the area dry and I keep it clean yet it comes back. Also i feel inflammation. Also the fourderm cream caused skin thinning and stretch marks. I have also included a photo in the attachment. Need help asap.

Fourderm contains steroid... Which is the cause of striae, reddening, and thinning of skin..prolong use of Steroid also causes fungus to become resistant to all medications... This resistant fungus has become a big challenge to we dermatologists.. Due to non dermatologists treating skin diseases..

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 more photos of the affected area by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
