Hi doctor,
I am facing skin rashes in private spaces for three days and it is very itching and burning situation. Kindly advise me medicine. I am staying abroad for a project.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Itching over the private area has multiple causes. The most common cause is a fungal infection which presents as red annular patches which keep on increasing or as redness with itching and burning with whitish deposition over the glans and foreskin.
The second most common cause is scabies which presents as red itchy bumps over the penis and scrotum. If you would have shared the picture, then it might have helped me to correctly diagnose the problem. Anyway, for now, I will prescribe you medicines for both.
