Doctor's answer:
??Hello, tinea cruris primarily occurs in the groin and intergluteal folds. The skin lesions initially appear as papules or papulovesicles, gradually expanding outward to form annular or multilobular patterns. The edges may be elevated and may have scales. Itching is usually present. When applying medication, it is generally recommended to extend beyond the visible area of the skin lesions by 2 to 3 centimeters, as the "normal" skin at the edges may already be infected with fungi. The treatment for tinea cruris typically requires about 2 weeks for symptoms to disappear. Even if the skin in the affected area appears to have returned to normal, it is important to continue using the medication for at least another 2 weeks.
