Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your concern and will surely help you out. You have a fungal infection that can be managed easily.

I suggest the following treatment plan:

  • Tablet Fluconazole 150 mg single dose in the afternoon and tablet Secnidazole 1 gm, two tablets to be taken once at night.
  • Keep the area dry.
  • Wear loose cotton undergarments.
  • Always clean the area from forward to back.

I hope this helps.

Kindly revert in case of further questions.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the response. Is it related to an STD or a yeast infection?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The symptoms do not point towards an STD (sexually transmitted disease). It is only a fungal or yeast infection that will subside with the above medicines.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
