Question : I am having a daad on my left inner thigh. It spread from there to right also and one on my right hand.
Brief Answer:
Use clotrimazole
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
You have developed fungal infection of groin known as tinea cruris.
I treat such cases with a topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole to be applied twice daily for a month.
It is safe and effective and is usually available over the counter.
You can try this.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
