Brief Answer:
Possible tinea cruris.Require systemic antifungal therapy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can certainly understand your concern.

You possibly seem to have tinea cruris, a form of fungal infection.

This requires oral antifungal therapy for 2 weeks for complete relief.

I generally prescribe my patients with oral pills of Terbinafine for 2 weeks.This produces an excellent resolution of symptoms.

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

Thank you
