Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have had a gooch region rash for a couple of weeks that is uncomfortable, sticky, and non-itchy and also easily irritated when sitting down, and clammy.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query,

It sounds like that you may be experiencing a rash in your genital area that has been causing discomfort and irritation for a couple of weeks. This type of rash can be caused by a variety of factors, including fungal infections, bacterial infections, or skin irritation due to chafing or contact with irritants as well as increased sweating. Since you mentioned that you are already using Triamcinolone cream, which is a topical steroid used to reduce inflammation and itching. However, if the rash has not improved after using the cream or if it continues to cause discomfort. I recommend you to use over-the-counter Rashfree cream (Benzalkonium chloride and Zinc oxide).

In the meantime, you may want to avoid tight-fitting clothing and keep the affected area clean and dry. You can also try using a barrier cream or powder to help reduce friction and irritation. It is important to avoid scratching or rubbing the affected area, as this can worsen the rash and increase the risk of infection.

Please follow up for further assistance.

Thank you.
