Hi doctor,

No, it is not increasing in size at all.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

There is a little itching but no burning or pain. I am just scared and worried. Can you please see what it is?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

It looks like initial stages of tinea cruris or scrotal dermatitis (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Use Luliconazole cream twice daily for 10 days.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Please tell me whether it looks like herpes.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

Is there any recent history of unsafe sexual exposure?

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I have always had protected sex with a condom.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

Then, there is no chance of it being herpes. Herpes always presents with grouped fluid-filled vesicles along with the chief complaint of burning.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.
