Question
Hello doctor,
I have had a fungal infection in my groin for more than 3 weeks, but because the locality is under blockade, I cannot buy medicine to treat it. So the doctor asked me if I have a yeast infection in the groin? If left for a long time, will the infected area spread and cause any harm to health? I thank you doctor.

Answered by Specialist Doctor I Nguyen Thanh Van - Department of Medical Examination & Internal Medicine, Vinmec Phu Quoc International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Is it okay to have a yeast infection in the groin? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
To diagnose and use the correct medicine, the doctor needs more pictures of the damaged skin. If it is true, the fungus will have suitable topical and oral medications during the time you are away from being able to see the doctor in person. Ringworm needs to be diagnosed and treated early to prevent the disease from spreading and possibly spreading to other contacts.
If you still have questions about fungus in the groin, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
