I have a fungal infection between my thighs and groin. What should I do?

You may apply an antifungal cream, such as miconazole, terbinafine, or clotrimazole, to the affected area twice daily for 2 to 4 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry to help prevent the infection from spreading, and wear loose-fitting cotton underwear to allow airflow. If there is no improvement or the infection is severe, see your doctor, who may prescribe oral antifungal tablets for more effective treatment.
