  5. I've had a ringworm/fungal infection in my groin area for the past two years, and it's only getting worse. I've seen many dermatologists, but nothing seems to help. The inner part of my thighs has also turned black. I've tried Candiforce 100mg, but I'm still dealing with this. It's really frustrating, and I feel like I'm losing hope. Can you suggest any effective treatments or medicines that might work?
