Possible fungal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I understand your concern.

You possibly seem to have a fungal infection of the body folds.

This is known as tinea cruris.

For this, I generally recommend oral tablets of TERBINAFINE FOR 2 WEEKS.Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe the same to you.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
