Rashes Around Leg, Groin Area. Prescribed Metasone Cream. Reappears On Stopping. Permanent Solution?
Hi, I have sudden outbreak of red round rashes around my leg and groin area. I consulted my local GP and he prescribed me with metasone cream. He says this is more likely an allergic than fungal infection . After applying the cream for few days days, the rashes starts to lighten up. However whenever I stop applying it for few days, the rashes will be back again.

welcome to healthcaremagic forum,
rashes around the legs and groin area are generally due to worm infestation or improper hygience that could be even excessive sweating.
it is advisable to undergo deworming and have a proper treatment under the guidance of a dermatologist. till then apply any lotion with aloevera in it.
take care.
