Had Psoriasis On Scalp. My Private Part Is Itchy, Is Red, Clear Skin. Will Nystatin Cream Work?

i've had psoriasis on my scalp since sixth grade, and im a senior in high school now. for the past 2 months or so ive noticed my *downstairs* area been extremely itchy. i decided to get a mirror and look, and it was red, and had peeling clearish skin. it has to be psoriasis, so i was wondering if my nystatin cream will work to get rid of it.

Hi,

Diagnosis might be revised.

It might be seborrheic dermatitis.

Stress,worries,poor hygiene,poor immunity,nutritional deficiencies..etc may exacerbate the disease.

Antifungal tab. ,antibiotics, folic acid..etc may be taken.

If there is itching, take antihistaminics.

If the condition is severe, take steroids in tappering dose.

Combined steroid and antifungal cream application improve the condition .

Cleanse the scalp with ketoconazole containing shampoo.

Consult dermatologist.

I hope you got my answer.
