Resolved question:
I have had a rash for about a month. It is in the groin area. It started as a light red rash and has been itchy on and off. I have tried hydrocortisone, antibiotic ointment, olive oil, diaper rash ointment. It hasn't gotten any better and is now very red and has spread. I also tried taking an anti histamine in case it was an allergic reaction. I am living in a humid hot environment for the summer (which is not my normal environment)
I am attaching a picture of how it looks today.

Hello
Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring
From the picture, it is a case of ringworm. Its called tinea cruris.
The best treatment for it would be application of terbinafine cream for three weeks. This would resolve it.
I would recommend that you discontinue any other creams that you may be using.
Take care.
