How Can Severe Itching In The Groin Area Be Treated?
I am male and have been itching my groin area for ages - doctor prescribed me Trimovate cream which has helped a bit but after using day and night for 10 days i still get itchy periods and there are small red bumps beneath the pubic hair which itch. What more can i do.

Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
It could be due to a medical condition called jock itch, which is nothing but fungal infection of the groin.
You can apply topical antifungals like cotrimazole. Oral antifungals like fluconazole may be needed in severe cases.
Keep the affected area dry.
Thanks
