Dermatologist,  's  Response
hello i can understand your concern, the rashes you developed may be due to fungal infection, tinea cruris and tinea corporis.
in such case cleaning with disinfectant can cause much irritation.
i would advice you to keep the area clean by normal water and more importantly keep it dry.
application of antifungal 1% clotrimazole cream and powder twice or thrice a day can be helpful, for more sevre condition you can have antifungal orally also.
and for itching tab levocetrizine 5 mg ( antihistaminics ) before sleeping can be helpful
hope it would help.thank you
