My itchy groins

I have been itching in my groins for the past two months without any improvement despite using antifungal creams and drugs. Kindly let me know what else to do in order to cure the ailment.

To permanently cure groin itching, you must identify the cause (often fungal jock itch but could be yeast, eczema, etc.), use targeted antifungal treatments (OTC or prescription) and maintain strict hygiene by keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose breathable clothes, and changing underwear daily to prevent recurrence, as fungal issues often return if you stop hygiene habits.

If OTC treatments fail after a couple of weeks, see a doctor for stronger meds (steroids, oral antifungals) or to rule out other conditions like eczema or bacterial infections.
