Thank you doctor,

I am non-diabetic. I had a fungal infection in the past with recurrent episodes. I use tight inner wears. I have slight sweating. I have attached some photos.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You can use Miconazole gel twice daily for 30 days in the groin region. Use Moisturex soft cream (light liquid paraffin with white soft paraffin) on the beard lesions for 20 days. You can use Ketoconazole soap or Dersil AF body wash for bathing. Use Candid dusting powder (Clotrimazole) after bath for 30 days. You can take tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg at night for 15 days. Avoid scratching or rubbing the lesions as it can cause secondary bacterial infection and spreading of infection. Keep your groin region dry as moisture favors fungal growth. Wear loose thin comfortable cotton inners. Stay in a cool well-ventilated room or environment. Avoid having humidity or heat or maceration or occlusion or friction in the groin region. Hygiene plays an important role and so maintain proper hygiene. Bath twice daily with lukewarm water. Keep the area dry and apply a cream with clean hands. Wash clothes separately in hot water. Use separate towels or soap in the groin region. Avoid sharing personal belongings as it is contagious. Luliconazole is also effective as Miconazole for the fungal infection of the groin.

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