I suffer from fungal infection in the groin region every summer and sometimes during winters as well. The scrotum skin becomes red, stretched, and there's unbearable itching. Sometimes, patches and rings appear on the skin in the groin, while other times, it's just redness and itching. I try my best to keep the area dry and clean, but I just sweat too much as I often have to walk in hot weather. I have used creams like Lulifin, Zydip etc on doctor's prescription, and used Castor NF without prescription for brief moments in case of unbearable itching. I can't find any long lasting solution. What should I do?
