Suggest Remedy For Itching Near The Penis And On The Thighs
Question: Hello sir,
I am having itching between legs( near penis. Not on penis). It is on both sides. If I rub on the area, skin is coming out like dust and the area becomes wet. Please suggest tablets/ cream in XXXXXXX
More details:
The skin in that area becomes reddish after itching. Skin has become rough and had cuts. The itching was there from minimum 12 months. Didn't consulted doctor because of the shy factor. Around 6 months backused itch guard(two tubes). It seems partially decreased, but no use.
I'm married. Didn't had any sexual contacts other than my wife.
