A member asked:

I have a red scaly patch near my groin area. i recently took bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) ds. could this be a fungal skin infection like a yeast infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Jock itch?: It could be a fungal infection, but more likely a "jock itch" than a yeast infection - and unlikely to be related to the recent course of bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim). Feel free to try an otc antifungal cream, but if nothing happens, see your doctor or a dermatologist and find out what it really is.
