Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have itching in the penis area. Kindly advice.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please wash the area with lukewarm water regularly. Use mild soap. Do not use the same towel in the pubic area that you use elsewhere on the body. Observe clearly if there is any change in color, foul smell, or lesions over the penis.

Maintain good hygiene down there. Remove pubic hair and keep the area dry. If you are the type who sweats a lot, then use mild antiperspirant talc over the groin area. If the climate where you live is very sultry, you may need to bathe many times daily. Use a different set of clothes every day. Do not use the same clothes again.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
