Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thank you for sharing the pictures. I have reviewed them (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). It appears to be allergic contact dermatitis due to friction. Always clean the area with mild soap. I suggest the below treatment plan:

• Cream Candid-B (Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone) is to be applied twice daily.
• Tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg once at night for seven days.
• Tablet Fluconazole 150 mg single tablet after the meal.

Consult a specialist doctor, talk to him or her and start the treatment with their consent.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
