Q. How to manage the fungal infections occurring near the bikini area?
Hello doctor,
I am suffering from a skin infection which I think is a fungal infection near my bikini area. I think it is a jock itch, but I am not sure. How can I prevent this infection? Kindly help. Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You may be suffering from a fungal infection that commonly affects inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. It can be treated by a course of anti-fungal treatment, which includes tablets along with creams. I suggest you follow the given measures. Do not use soap over that area. Avoid using over-the-counter steroid-containing creams like Panderm (Terbinafine, Clobetasol, Ofloxacin, and Ornidazole), Quadriderm (Beclometasone, Neomycin, and Clotrimazole), Betnovate (Betamethasone Valerate), and Candid-B (Clotrimazole and Beclometasone) as it can lead to a repeated case of recurrence and can also have side effects due to application. Do not use steroid-containing combination creams. Please consult a nearby specialist doctor immediately and start the treatment. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and other people in the household. Thank you.
