6. Complications
If you catch tinea cruris early, visit your doctor and get treated, the rash should go away within a few weeks. When you have close contact with others who are infected or do not take the appropriate measures to get rid of the rash, the problem may be difficult to get rid of and may cause other issues.
You should make an appointment with your doctor if the rash becomes painful or you develop a fever. It can also lead to permanent skin damage if not treated. The key is to take care of it as soon as you know that it’s a problem.
