Tinea cruris n dry skin
I was diagnosed with tinea cruris on my vagina in Jan after going to multiple doctors for 4 months or more. I was asked to shift from candid B cream to luliconozole cream. The itching reduced by 70% but never went. I was told that candid B had cause the skin on my vagina to dry up completely n was given a moisturizer. This again reduced it by another 10% but not completely which is frustrating cause it keeps me from sleeping at times. And now I feel like the fungal infection is back cause the redness n itching has increased. Probably cause I need to keep it moisturized to prevent dryness. Is there any permanent cure for this.

Fungal infection.. Also called jock itch, when occurs in groin.. 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, bacterial and viral infection, doctor need to see to confirm the diagnosis..So, meet me in my clinic or do direct online consultation by sending photos for detailed information and medicine for treatment.
