Fungal infections in the groin are commonly referred to as jock itch or tinea cruris. They occur when certain types of fungi, such as dermatophytes, grow and multiply in warm and moist areas of the body, like the groin.

Asked for male, 24 years old from Jalgaon

I have fungal infection around my genitals (between scrotum and legs) since an year. For almost first 4-5 months, I ignored it considering in could be something temporary due to scratching by nails. I started treatment and from different doctor and many od them suggested itraconazole 100 mg per day, and creams like ketoconazole. It caused temporary relief but it re-appeared after stopping medicine. Then I started my treatment with a reputed dermatologist. He suggested me itraconazole 100 mg once daily, histafree 120 mg twice daily, applying candid dusting powder in morning and a mixture of triben and nadibact cream at night with candid dusting powder. This treatment continued for 2 months and the condition improved, but it still kept coming back as I stopped medicine, even after visiting doctor again, he still kept the same treatment routine. With that now, it has almost been 2 months again, and the infection hasn't re-appeared. How much time will I need to continue with this treatment to bet totally cured? How can I know about the right time to stop medication? Do I need to see another doctor?

Asked for male, 22 years old from Kolkata

Hi, doctors. I really need your help with something. So my boyfriend he is 23m now. He is on paroxetine 50 mg, melatonin 10 mg and propranolol 40 for anxiety. For past 1.5 -2 years he keeps developing this very severe pneumonia episodes constantly. He would get a mild cold. He'll take montelukast, levocetirizine and it'll be almost unnoticeable. Just a runny nose sometimes, you know the kind you get if you have a dust allergy or and a sneeze here and there. But then within a few weeks he'll suddenly develop phlegm in chest, severe coughing and severe shortness of breath. And then he'll require antibiotic treatments. Most of the times 2 of them together and cough syrup, bronchodialaters and what not. The frequency of this is concerns me. The last was in june last week I suppose. He then again developed this today. Like a month probably goes by and he gets these. I am just so worried. Like could there be something wrong with him! why does he keep getting those! all the time. A lot of the times there even have no clear triggers. This time he got wet in the rain though. I don't know what to do and i'm worried out of my mind. Any advice is appreciated. P.s he has no other illness that I can think of. Although the gp was a bit concerned about his neutrophil count in june. Then he repeated the test and the value was 43. Then gp said it's all ok in that case. Not any smoking drinking or any other substance is done.

First ascertain the cause of the pneumonia
usually the pediatrician will go for sputum or gastric lavage if these are inconclusive or negative results then on has to anyhow involve a chest physician/ pulmonologist to perform pediatric bronchoscopy which apparently I do.
The bronchio alveolar lavage or washings will give good positive results in terms of finding out the bacteria causing pneumonia and one can give antibiotics accordingly for pneumonia.
