I am 24 years old male. From last 3 months I am having rashes at pubic region. I have tried nearly all the over the counter creams and fluconazole 150 tablets but this hadn't done any good. From looking at it, it looks like jock itch fungal infection. It has spread on thighs as well as buttocks. Please suggest what is the best treatment. I have used panderm and candida but they haven't given any relief.

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please call me or contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household.
