Suggest Remedy For Itching And Burning In Genital And Thigh Area

I have been experiencing itching burning crawling sensation on my genitals and thighs mainly. Slight itchiness continues underneath towards the anus. There is no recognizable rash no blisters or sores. The bottom of the scrotum is slightly red and at one point felt raw and looked slightly scaly. I have been tested for std 3 weeks after last encounter all showed negative. I have been using a jock itch cream for a few days which seems to be slightly decreasing the discomfort. The open air also seems to help with the itching/burning. Any idea what this could be?

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

Most likely you are having a fungal Infection and because of scratching an addition bacterial infection over the fungal infection might have happened.

Most of the Jock Itch cream contains Anti-fungal medications , so kindly let me know the name of it . Otherwise ask your doctor to prescribe you a combination of Antifungal medication+ Antibiotic cream and a steroid cream . Use this for around 2 weeks and everything will get cleared .

Also keep that area as dry as possible .

Hope you find this information useful.

Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask.
Happy to help you.

Regards.
