Brief Answer:
Oral and topical antifungal Antibiotics are required

Detailed Answer:
Hello Madam,

I can certainly understand your concern

As per your symptoms the possibility of fungal infection, tinea Cruris is very high.

This requires oral as well as topical antifungal medications for 1 to 2 weeks.

I generally prescribe oral medication of Terbinafine and topical clotrimazole to my patients with such symptoms.

Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these medications to you.

OTC medications will be of little use.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you
