Can I Apply Candid B For Skin Infection On Scrotum?
Hello Doctor,
I have skin infection on scrotum. It itches a lot. It has infection on the place where scrotum skint touches to inner thighs. I have faced this problem nearly 8 to 9 years ago and now I am facing it again. Many of my friends suggested me to use Candid-B. Please suggest.
Thanks in Advance.

hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
You seem to have developed a fungal infection of the groin region, which can be either tinea infection or candidiasis.
You should try to keep the groin region clean and dry .
Do not apply any kind of oils or moisturizing creams over the groin region .
Wear cotton undergarments inorder to reduce sweating.
You need to use an antifungal agent like Clotrimazole gel over the affected area twice a day. See I would not recommend the application of candid b cream since it contains a steroid along.
It would be better to use a plain antifungal cream like candid cream.
Also take oral antifungals like fluconazole like 150 mg once a week for upto 6 weeks.
And to relieve the itching, take oral antihistamines .
Hope it helps,
