Brief Answer:
Use plain surfaz

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Dont use dettol, it can cause irritation.
Surfaz sn contains a strong steroid which can harm your penile skin.
Its better to use plain surfaz instead of surfaz sn.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in confirming the diagnosis for you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up and photograph.
It is fungal infection of groin.
Only creams won't help you.
I treat such cases with oral antifungals like itraconazole.
It gives excellent response within a week.
You can try this in consultation with your doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
