A member asked:

Can i use amoxicillin to treat a reacuring fungal rash in the groin area?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Won't work: The penicillin antibiotics are famously ineffective. A topical such as tolnaftate (for non-candida) or Nystatin (for candida) is your best choice for a superficial fungus.
