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

Dr. Ed Friedlander, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Answered Aug. 19, 2013

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.
