Patient's Query

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 yourfungal 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.

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