Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. The condition is known as Tinea corporis or dermatophytosis. It is a type of superficial fungal skin infection that can affect the groin, buttocks, or any skin area along with nails. I would suggest the following medicines. Take Capsule Syntran-SB (Itraconazole) 65 mg twice a day. Use Cream Luliconazole once at night. Take Tablet levocetrizine 5 mg once at night. Also, keep the clothes separately, including the towels. Thank you.
