Q. What medicine shall I use for inner thigh infection?
Hi doctor,
Due to excess sweat, I have some infection in my inner thighs. It seems like a layer of skin is out of my testes. It is paining a lot. What shall I use for relief?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- It could be due to fungal infection.
- Plain antifungal cream is to be used twice daily. For example, you can use Candid cream (Clotrimazole) twice daily.
- Proper oral and topical medicine for one or two months is necessary to cure your fungal infection.
- Remember to wear loose cotton clothing, especially when at home.
- Avoid hot and humid climate. Keep the affected area dry and avoid synthetic innerwear.
- If any other family members are affected, then they must also be adequately treated to prevent recurrence.
- Please put one or two photos of the affected areas, so that the further course of medication and cream can be advised.
