Extreme Itchy Rash Under The Fold Of Stomach Spreading Closer To Peri Area, Raw Spots. Using A And D Ointment. Suggest

I have an extreme rash under the fold of my stomach. I have had them before, but nothing like this. I just washed off the A and D ointment and the redness is spreading closer to my peri area. I also have a couple of raw spots. Should I continue with the A and D ointment of try something else until I can see my Dr. I have had this off and of for a few weeks, but never this bad! It also itches like crazy!

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

You might have developed fungal infection.

Your description matches with this.

Only A and D cream wont help.

Its just an emolient.

Please get a KOH mount done,

This can confirm the fungal etiology.

Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
