Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are in.

The rash you experience under your arms and groins and legs are indicative for fungal infection of the skin (tinea cruris), a type of ringworm infection of the skin.

I advise to:
- keep a good local hygiene of the skin
- wash with warm water and soap
- dry it well
- apply gentian violet solution locally
- let it dry
- apply terbinafin cream mixed with hydrocortisone

I advise to discuss with your doctor to change therapy as perhaps canesten is not having good effects. I also advise to start oral therapy with antifungal drugs (terfinafin).

Wish fast recovery!
Dr.Albana
