a 7 year skin infection

for about the last 7 years i have had some sort of infection in the groin area that sounds as if its jock itch or (Tinea cruris). for 6 years a rash would appear on the inner thighs of both legs right near the fold of the groin, the rash would appear when it was really hot out and it would give off a burning sensation.( at this point there was no sweating or itching just a rash that would coe up when it was hot out). at the time the rash only really occured when i was playing sports or when i was working in the autoshp during the summer. if baby powder was applied the rash would go away over night but would reoccure at just about anytime.


sweating, a fish like smell, slight itching once in a while and skin that would deteriorate from the fold of the groin all became new symptoms in a very short time. after all these symptoms had surfaced, the rash would occure just about every day regardless if it was hot or cold or if i had done anything all day or not. it starts off with sweat and the smell from there with in 45 minutes the rash appears.

i have seen 3 doctors and a dermatologist and nothing i do seems to get rid of the problem

i have lost weight
havnt had sex, so that rulled out many thing

was givin:
lamisil & ectosone compound .1% cr 1:1
lyderm cream 0.05%
fucdin, lyderm, lamisil compound
lamisil tablets: which got rid of most sweating, itching and fish smell but wasnt strong enough to get rid of the rash

within 40 days all the symptoms had come back and now im taking sporanox 100 mg   iv been on sporanox for 21 days now daily  and havnt gotten much results.

when i saw the dermatologist he told me i was alerigic to tylonal, and i need to wear cloths that are lose... if i do that i wont be wearing anything he was a complete waste of time.


i hope someone can have some answers for me

thanks
