Suggest Treatment For Recurring Fungal Infection In Genital Area
I have been treating a fungal infection in the genital area for 3 months. My doctor prescribed oral medication for 4 weeks and I have also used numerous anti fungal cream. The fungal infection appears to have gone but the scrotum has become tacky and sticks to the top of my thighs. Talcum powder initially assists but then becomes very irritable. I am currently using a soothing anti bacterial lotion and whilst this helped for a week the symptoms have returned. It is uncomfortable when the condition is active. Have you any idea's ?
