Suggest Remedies For Fungal Infection In The Groin
I m a 29 year old male and I had a fungal infection in my groin area. It was itchy and dark. After a few days of treatment (Lamisil) it stopped itching but it kept on being dark. I used home remedies (garlic and honey, tea tree) and it eventually went away, except for a small part in my pubic area. It is not itchy, but it s still noticeably darker. I have been using Ketokonazol for 2 months but I just can not get rid of it.
