Suggest Treatment For Chronic Itching In The Groin
Hello, im having groin itching for over a year. I keep myself clean but I think I need treatment or may be its because of food? It itches like hell many times in a day. I use Itch guard, moisturizer cream and Soframycin regularly. but after some hours it starts itching again. can I avoid going to the docters and have a remedy ?
Hi. As per your case history you are having intertrigo groin. My treatment advice is - 1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily. 2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for itching. 4. Other treatment options are oral fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
