I Have Got Fungal Infections Near The Genital Area Couple
Question: I have got fungal infections near the genital area couple of times. Each time I have consulted doctor and it got rectified with the medications However during summer or whenever it get sweaty down there, the skin becomes reddish and become uncomfortable. Over the years, the skin around the genital area got permanently discolored ( whitish color) with lot of moles. The number of moles keeps on increasing. Is there any permanent and long term solution.?
Brief Answer:
Use anti fungal powder & cream prophylactically
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photograph.
The dyspigmentation is due to the frequent occurrence of your problem.
In summer and humid weather I would recommend you to apply anti fungal dusting powder like clotrimazole powder 2-3 times during the day time along with application of an anti fungal cream like luliconazole cream in the groin area once daily at night.
These are the prophylactic measures that will prevent recurrence of fungal infection.
As far as moles are concerned you need to consult a dermatologist and get them removed by radio frequency ablation or surgical excision.
There are no topical and oral medicines for moles.
