[|Human|] Hi Dr., My son has some rash / infection near the groin. Earlier too he was getting these rashes and was treated by a dermatologist and the application ointment given to him was Rovate.  now this ointment also does not help him.  Please suggest what needs to be applied to this rash.
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand from your query that your son has an itchy rash in his groin. The most common cause for itchy rash in the groin area is a fungal infection called Tina courts or jock itch. Rovate is steroid which will not help him. In fact, it can worsen the condition. He can benefit from applying a cream containing 1 % Terminating twice a day for 3 weeks. He could also take weekly dosage of fluconazole which has to be prescribed by a doctor. For itching, he can take an antihistamine like levocetrizine at bedtime. He should keep the area Chat Doctor.  He should wear loose undergarments preferably boxer shorts so that the area is well aerated. Hope this helps you. Take care.
