For how long have you been taking the powder? What's the name?

Hi,

Can you kindly provide me with the name of the product? For how long have you been using it? Are there any changes in the groin area? Did you shave recently? Can you upload an image of the groin as well?

The product is Nystatin. I've been taking it for a few days now. The itching has been occurring for almost 2 years now. I will upload photos soon.

Hi,

No changes to the area. I shaved a while back, but nothing recent. I just uploaded of bunch of pictures of the area.

Brief Answer:
Continue for at least a week!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I will suggest that you use this drug for at least a week. It is a good anti fungal drug and the most common cause of itching in this area is a fungal infection. However, if it fails to offer relief within a week, then it is worth exploring other possible causes which seem unlikely. I have reviewed all the attached images as well before making this recommendation.

I wish you well and await more updates in 5days; that would have completed 7days of treatment.
