Having Rashes, Itching And Has Turned Red. Skin Is Peeled Off Between Testicles And Thigh. Taking Ebernet M. Suggest Another Alternative

default
Posted on Fri, 8 Nov 2013
Question: Hi Sir
Since 2 weeks I am having rashes problem which are itching and has become reddish and skin is getting peeled off between the testicles and the thigh on both sides. If I rub the irritation/itiching increases and the skin is getting peeled off . Also it is having very bad smell. This is the first time I had this problem. From the past one week I am using Ebernet-M twice a day with the application of Clotrimazole Dusting Powder and having capsules of candiforce 100 mg twice a day. Now there is reduction in the issue. However, the red/white patches on testicles/between testicles and thigh remain unchanged. Now I will go to see the same doctor who prescribed the said medicine. I am flying to Nigeria on 25th and will be back only after 6 months. Can you suggest any other alternative.
