What is the treatment for Tinea cruris?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understand your concern. With your descriptions, it seems you have tinea cruris. Tinea cruris is a fungal infection of the groin. Follow certain general measures:

• Do not keep the area wet at all. Use Clotrimazole (Zinc oxide BP and Aerosil) powder frequently to keep it dry.

• Avoid itching and do not scratch it. Change the undergarments regularly. Avoid excessive sweating and wet clothes.

• Do not apply any general or steroid creams like Betnovate (Betamethasone valerate and Chlorocresol), Surfaz ointment [Clotrimazole (1 % W/W) Betamethasone (0.05% W/W) Tolnaftate (1 % W/W)] Neomycin (0.5 % W/W)) Quadriderm (Neomycin and Clotrimazole), Itchguard (Benzyl alcohol and Terbinafine hydrochloride), Penderm (Clobetasol and Neomycin), etc.

• Do not stop the medicine once you are cured. Continue medicine for a long time to completely kill the fungal.

• Check diabetes and thyroid it is really recurrent even after proper treatment.

It can be transferred. However, it is not a dread disease (life-threatening) and almost has nil complications. It can be easily prevented by the above-mentioned measures. Please review with a picture for better evaluation and further the best possible treatment of your concern. I hope you find this helpful.

Thank you.
