hi,
thank you for putting up your query on HCM.
as per your history, you have fungal infection called Tinea cruris.
as it is recurrent, I would advise you:
1. maintain hygiene.
2. wash the groin area, at least twice a day.
3. wear loose cotton clothes.
4. you may also take cap itraconazole 100 mg bd for 7 days with 3 wks off, this cycle to be repeated for 3 months after consulting a dermatologist.
5. you may also apply miconazole cream twice a day.
6. for itching, you may take tab levocetrizine bd.
wishing you good health.
thank you
