Itchy Mons Veneris. Applied Canestan And Aloe Cream. Red Bumps. Home Remedies?
I have had a severely itchy mons veneris for about a week and a half and I don't know what to do. I wear cotton underwear and not tight pants but it still itches. It itches the least after I shower. I've tried putting aloe cream and canesten but they don't help. It gets red and also tiny bumps when i scratch, kind of like a rash. I wash with dove for sensitive skin and dry it thoroughly. I don't want to see a doctor for several reasons. Any suggestions or at home remedies?
hi
you seem to have developed a fungal infection or candidiasis of the groin region
First some general precautions:
Wear cotton clothes and undergarments in order to reduce the sweating
Do not apply any kind of oils / moisturizing lotion over the affected area
Now you dont need to apply aloe vera cream over the affected region.
Just give warm saline compresses over the affected area twice a day and then apply canesten cream(clotrimazole cream )
also , you will need to take oral antifungals in the form of fluconazole 150 mg once weekly for 2 weeks...
In case of sever itching, take some antihistamine like levocetrizine once a day
Hope it helps
