Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have itching and irritation in private parts. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Fungal infection is due to improper hygiene or excessive sweating. Maintaining good hygiene will help.

  1. Wash clothes in hot water.
  2. Avoid sharing clothes.
  3. Keep area dry.

If you are not allergic to oral medications, I suggest:

  1. Tablet Terbinafine 250 mg once daily after meal for 15 days.
  2. Topical application of Sertaconazole 2 % cream twice daily for a month.

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