Having Circular Red Rash With Flaky White Spots On Thigh, Pubic Region. Suggest?

I have a circular red rash with flaky white spots and zits on my inner thigh and pubic region it doed not itch unless I am sweating I am very active where I work and I have been using fungal medication but ut has only aleveated the redness and has not gotten rid of the rash.... I have never had an std and am seriously scared... I have tried many different antifungal creams, powders and sprays which only seem to temporarily solve the problem and I do not want the woman I am seeing to leave me if she sees it... Help please!

Hello.
Thanks for the query.
This appears like a fungal infection.
What all medication you have applied can give relief just for a few days.
Here is my advice for you.
1. Apply oint clotrimazole in night and clotrimazole powder in day for atleast one month. Remember to use it for one month even if the itch stops, this will prevent recurrence.
2. Take an anti histamine for itch.
3. Dont share your towel or cloth with anyone, this can spread the disease. Also it can spread sexually. So better to avoid sexual intercourse for atleast 10 days, with regular medication.
Dont worry it is completly curable.
