Fungal infection of natal cleft region
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I completely understand your concern and I hope I am able to help you for the same.
I have seen the attached picture.
You seem to be having Candidiasis of the natal cleft region which is a fungal infection.
You need not worry since it is not a pilonidal cyst.
It is just a minor skin infection which will heal with treatment.
First some general precautions:
Wear cotton clothes and undergarments in order to reduce the sweating.
Do not apply any kind of oils / moisturizing lotion over the affected area .
Just give warm saline compresses over the affected area twice a day and then apply an antifungal cream.
Something like clotrimazole cream available as candid cream helps in most cases.
In case of severe itching, take some antihistamine once a day .
I am sure that if you continue to take the above treatment for 7 to 10 days, the skin lesion will heal completely.
Hope it helps
Please ask if you need any further clarifications
