Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through the details (attachments removed to protect patient identity) provided by you.
You seem to have a fungal infection of skin called tinea cruris. It is commonly called as ringworm.
Due to inappropriate treatment it might have spread extensively.
- You could use Sertacide (Sertaconazole) cream twice daily for at least a month. You can take Cetirizine tablet to control itching.
- You also require oral tablets like Terbinafine or Azoles as the infection is widespread. Kindly see your dermatologist for proper physical evaluation and prescription.
- Alongside, keeping the area clean and dry by use of a sweat absorbing talc helps healing faster.
- As it can spread to others by contact, it is advisable to treat others whom you live with if they have it too.

Hi doctor,
Can I use Maxoderm cream instead of Sertacide?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- Maxoderm is a combination cream which may not be appropriate.
- Sertacide or Onabet (Sertaconazole) are purely antifungals and so are preferred.
