Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query in detail and do understand your concern.

You could be suffering from a fungal infection. However, your symptoms may also be due to eczema. A picture and detailed history will be needed to differentiate between the two.

I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below:

Proper oral and topical medicine for one to two months will completely cure your disease.
A course of oral and topical antifungal medicine, like Fluconazole or Terbinafine, is usually prescribed to cure one of these diseases.
Do not use any over-the-counter medication on this area, as it may contain certain ingredients that may increase the problem.
Wear loose cotton clothing, especially when at home.

I hope it helps.

Please feel free to reach out in case of further queries.

Thank you.
