Hi, I have itching and irritation in my groin area for around 3-4 months now. By the lookbof itz it looks like jock itch, but it should not have lasted foe this long. The skin in groin area has become dry and patchy and a ring difderentuatws the affected part with non affected skin. The itching is quite intense and as a result I have scratched my skin leading to 2-3 small blisters. Here are the things that I have tried: 1) tried applying luliderm for 2 weeks with no result. 2) consulted a doctor who said it could be scabies, hence took the ivermectin for 2 days now and have been applying permethrin in night for 2 days. I doubt it would be scabies otherwise my sife would have been affected as well and by the look of it as well, it doesn't look like scabies. I looking for a permanent resolution to this problem. Please help.

It can be because of dermatitis/ eczema or allergy or dryness or fungal infection or psoaiasis etc. I need details of case n preferably pics of affected area. In the meanwhile follow this moisturize frequently. Coconut oil and glycerine are good options. Avoid sudden changes in temperature or humidity. Avoid sweating or overheating. Reduce stress. Avoid scratchy materials, such as wool directly in contact with skin. Avoid harsh soaps, detergents, and solvents. Be aware of any foods that may cause an outbreak and avoid those foods. For this homeopathic treatment is very effective for more details consult online..

Hello, Shipham. It seems like you are suffering from either a fungal infection or intertrigo. For now keep the area dry, wear clean and dry clothes and avoid itching or scratching the area. A photographic consultation would be required to confirm the diagnosis and give treatment.
