Hi,welcome to healthcare magic forum.
Multiple tinea lesions usually needs combined oral and local treatment.Usually responds to fluconazole tablet and clotrimazole ointment.If it persists for long,or frequent recurrences,we have to rule out conditions like diabetes,HIV,etc.
Also,you keep the area pretty clean and dry.Avoid excessive sweating.Bath twice daily.Change your undergarments daily,and dry them under direct sunlight.Moisture promots fungal growth.
Hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
