Suggest Treatment For An Infection In The Pubic Area

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...about 2 months ago I found what I thought was a mosquito bite on my pubic area. As it turns out, a few more popped out and formed a ring/ semicircle. It is painfully itchy. Today, I noticed that it is white and scaly in appearance. Can it be treated with otc meds or do I need a script?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What lesions you are describing around the pubic area appears to be fungal infection along with bacterial infection of the skin.
Kindly do the following to overcome the symptoms.
1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. After drying, apply cream containing Clotrimazole with betamethasone.
3. Take Tablet.Levocetrizine once a day to control itching.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments and avoid friction in the area.
Maintain clean and good hygiene. Gradually, the lesions should subside and heal completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
