Below is a method for effective treatment of recurrent epidermophytosis groin. After infection, the rash appears in the groin folds (especially at the very top), and also spreads to the inner thighs. It is a red, itchy ring-shaped rash in the groin area.

Sudocrem is an antiseptic healing cream that can be bought at any pharmacy and is used for many skin conditions such as prickly heat, acne, eczema. It has antibacterial and antifungal properties and can also be used to form a protective barrier.

This method can also be used in combination with over-the-counter antifungal creams such as Dactarin. This method worked for me without using antifungal creams, but antifungal cream will enhance the effect.

Steps

1. 1 If the rash is inflamed, you may want to first use an anti-inflammatory cream, such as hydrocortisone 2 to 3 times a day, until the inflammation and soreness subsides. Try not to scratch the rash.
2. 2 In the morning, wash your groin area and be sure to dry thoroughly (use a separate towel).
3. 3 Apply a small amount of Sudocrem to and around the groin area where the infection has spread. If the infection is in the upper part of the groin, in the folds in the lower abdomen, then be sure to apply the cream there too. Also apply cream to the rash if it starts to spread to the inner thighs.
4. 4 Wear loose underwear throughout the day. The skin will absorb the Sudocrem and help reduce friction throughout the day. At the end of the day, you will feel some improvement. Rinse off the remaining Sudocrem and be sure to dry the groin area thoroughly. Sleep in loose clothing that does not chafe at night.
5. 5 Repeat these steps every day, and you will begin to notice that the rash gradually fades until it finally disappears altogether.
6. 6 It will take some time before you see the result of the treatment - be patient.

Tips

• If you choose to use this method in combination with an antifungal cream, apply the cream to the rash and rub it well into the skin, then top with a layer of Sudocrem.
• When washing your groin, rinse off the soap thoroughly.
• Change your underwear daily and wear loose clothing whenever possible.
• It may be worth shaving your groin for better skin access.
• Once the rash has disappeared, you can use this method as a preventive measure. If you have already had epidermophytosis groin, the cream will serve as a protective barrier in the groin and also have antifungal effect.
• If the infection recurs, repeat the process.

Warnings

• Avoid getting the cream in your eyes and mouth.
• After using the cream, wash your hands thoroughly with warm water.
• Be sure to read the instructions; if you develop irritation or signs of an allergic reaction, stop using the cream.
• There are no known cases of Sudocrem overdose.
• If symptoms persist, see your doctor.
• Do not use the cream if you have a sensitivity to any of the ingredients.
