It is often observed in the patients or individuals who are obese, diabetic patients, and people having a weakened immune system.
Fortunately, you have homeopathy to treat the skin condition gently, effectively, and safely without any side effects. Let’s have a look at a case of tinea cruris that healed with homeopathy effectively.
Case Study

He was suffering from tinea since the last year. The lesions of fungal infection (tinea) were present on his lower abdominal area and both the inner thighs.
As his dermatologist had diagnosed the skin condition, he was under heavy doses of corticosteroid ointments and antibiotics for the same. Due to this, his tinea cruris lesions used to subside temporarily for a few days and would re-appear once the medications were stopped. The repetition of this cycle was occurring for the past few months.
Physical Generals:

The patient was working as a sales manager. He stayed with his family members. Everyone in his family enjoyed good health and good relation with the patient. He had a loving wife and a son of six years of age.
He had no history of any other illness.
The only complaint he suffered was chronic constipation for the past few months. He was taking laxatives for the same that did not help him much.
At Life Force:
After evaluating the case in detail. Dr. Shah prescribed a few research-based homeopathic medicines along with a customized diet and nutrition regime.
