Hi doctor I was having an itch in my groin area a month back. I consulted a dermatologist and he prescribed me to use clop g twice daily for 3 weeks. I was unable to get clop g so he recommended an alternative clobetamil g. I used clobetamil g but there was no effect. So I tried to get clop g and I got it. But it was also of no use. My groin area has got redness and some itching near my genital. There are some red spots near the pubic area and a ring worm. Please help as due to lighten i'm unable to visit any dermatologist.

Ringworm is not easy to treat now a day because of emerging resistance. It is not recommended to self treat the ringworm because reinfection and resistance is increasing. You have used steroid cream for ringworm, this can actually make other medicines ineffective.
