What Is The Cause Of A Rash In Pubic Area?

I have a persistant rash in the pubic area...clinical presentation is consistent with fungal infection, but it is unresponsive to OTC topical antifungals and one prescription antifungal. I have had no culture done. My sexual partner has had a vaginal culture done and tested positive for Klebsiella Pneumoniae. Could this also be causing my rash?

Hi.
As per your case history you are having fungal infection called as tinea cruris.
My treatment advice is –

1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine like levocetirizine for 7-10days .
4. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine given only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
