Clinical symptoms - jock itch, anal fissures/ hemorrhoids, rashes on face ( may be fungal)

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Conclusively negative. You need not worry.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through the details. The reports are conclusive and no further testing is needed. You can rest assured that you are negative.

The itch could be due to a fungal infection. Application of clotrimazole powder should provide relief. Clinical evaluation of the anal fissures and hemorrhoids is needed to ascertain whether surgery is needed. Tablet Daflon can provide relief. Fiber rich diet is essential. Sitz bath should help.

Please upload an image of the rashes and I would guide you further.
