Hi, I am a 51 yr. old female and I am obese. I have a red, very itchy rash in my groin area. It has been on going for almost 2 wks. now. I bathe or shower in warm water, not hot. I have tried powers, anti-chafing ointments, and even tried cortisone cream (for the itching). But they are not giving any lasting relief. What might it be? From what I have read online about groin itch, I m thinking I may have female jock itch. What can I get or do to make it go away and get better? Please help!
Hello, It may be Tina courts. It is a fungal infection. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would suggest-Capsule itraconazole twice a day-Tablet levocetirizine twice a day-Apply clotrimazole cream-Avoid soap-Have a blood test to rule out diabetes Continue treatment for about two weeks or till the cure. If it relapses, repeat the treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
