Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the description, it appears that you could be having a mixed infection of skin around genital area.
Kindly use the antifungal cream as prescribed.
But along with it, kindly do the following also.
1. Wash the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon thrice daily.
2. After drying, apply Neomycin with hydrocortisone cream over the lesions.
3. Take Tablet.Levocetrizine once a day to control itching.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments to provide proper ventilation and avoid friction in the affected area.
5. Abstain from sexual activities till the lesions heal completely.
Maintain clean and good personal hygiene.
Gradually, your symptoms should subside and you should feel better. You can follow advise from your doctor during the next visit.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
