What Causes An Itchy Genital Area Rash Spreading Throughout The Body?
Question: I have a genital area rash that has spread onto inner thighs, stomach and sides, with itching and burning now interior of the penis
Brief Answer:
Fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you have developed fungal infection.
Your description is suggestive of that.
I treat such cases with a combination of oral and topical antifungal medication.
Oral fluconazole tablet 150 mg per week for 4 weeks and clotrimazole powder to be applied twice daily for the same duration works well.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis and better way of management.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
