No problem giving calamine lotion and salicyl powder to the skin with tinea cruris. With the application of this lotion or powder, itching due to tinea cruris can be relieved. However, this action does not necessarily cure this disease. Since the cause is fungus, the definitive treatment for tinea cruris is by administering antifungal drugs. Some other types of drugs can also be given according to complaints that arise. The lotioncalamine and salicyl powder, if you want to use it, should be applied with extreme caution, so it does not reach the genitals or anus, because it can trigger allergies or irritations of various symptoms, can be mild, can be severe.

Cleaning the intimate area affected by tinea cruris is vital for accelerating healing. You are right to say, that cleaning up this intimate area needs to be done using water and soap.
