Dear sir, greetings, from HCM ... I understand your concern .. It is great that you did quit smoking .. And don't relate I itching with smoking cessation ... It could be that same fungal infection .. Please apply candid cream daily for a month .. Keep the part dry and use dry under garments .. Give for stool examination to rule out any parasitic infection .. You will be alright .. Thank you and do contact us forore queries ..
