Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I used to wear tight underwear and sometimes used ones a lot. Two days back, I observed that my groin skin is rough and dry. I do not feel any itching. Sometimes I keep my underwear on through the night. Is it the cause?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your concern is a candida yeast infection. It is curable. Start using Lulifin (Luliconazole) cream once daily at bedtime and dust Abzorb powder (Clotrimazole dusting powder) immediately. Use them for 30 days even if there is an improvement. Bath twice a day. Avoid hot and humid conditions. Avoid wet and tight innerwear.

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