Suggest Treatment For Rashes And Fungal Infection Around Genital Area
Question: I have a problem of rashes and fungal infection around genital area.
Brief Answer:
Oral itraconazole, topical luliconazole
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
It seems you are suffering from Tinea cruris, a kind of fungal infection.
Since you have tried fluconazole tablet and clotrimazole (candid cream) with no results, I would like to change your medications.
I usually recommend proper course of oral anti-fungal drugs like Itraconazole 100mg once daily for 15-20 days along with anti-fungal cream like luliconazole (LULIFIN CREAM) for local application at bedtime for 4-6 weeks.
You can additionally use antifungal dusting powder containing sertaconazole (ONABET DUSTING POWDER) during day time and a soap containing ketoconazole for rinsing of affected areas.
Take oral antihistaminics for itching as required.
Maintain hygiene over those areas and avoid wearing tight undergarments.
Hope your queries are resolved and wish you best of health.
I would insist you to post me on your condition after 3 weeks.
If you require any further assistance in future, you can reach me directly through the below mentioned link.
