Started Itching Under Thighs. Looking Alternative For Tinaderm Lotion
Question: I HAD AN ITCHING PROBLEM UNDER MY THIGHS, TWENTY YEARS BACK, AND I WAS ADVISED BY SKIN DOCTOR TO USE TINADREM LOTION, WHICH WAS CURED BY IT. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS RECCURED, AND TINADERM LOTION IS NOT AVAILABLE, CAN YOU SUGGEST ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVE
Hi XXXXXXX,
Welcome to XXXXXXX forum.
With the available describes symptoms, there appears to be possibility of Tinea cruris, a fungal infection commonly involving groin region in males.
Tinea cruris gets precipitated after warm dry climate with excessive sweating.
This is a contaminated disease and you may get from anyone or spread to your colleagues.
You should consult with XXXXXXX medicine specialist/ dermatologist and should go for thorough check up.
You should go for KOH mount preparation of skin scrapings to confirm the infection.
You should wear soft cotton undergarments.
Avoid soap application at infected site.
Frequent friction with tough clothes with sweating may exacerbate the infection.
Tinaderm contains Tolnaftate, an antifungal ointment.
You can use antifungal ointment containing Terbinafine.
You should also take Itraconazole oral preparations.
Hope that helps.
Let me know if I can address any more concerns.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
