Can Hypercare Be Used To Treat Red, Raw Skin Between Legs And Scrotum?

I have red raw skin in the area between my legs and scrotum that I have been treating with Lamisil cream and also the spray. It seems to help but keeps coming back. Recently my PCP gave me a prescription for Hypercare which I haven t tried yet as it says on the package it is for sweating. I am curious why it doesn t mention anywhere? that it can be used for my problem. Should I try using this solution as it says not to use on irritated skin which is what I have. What do you think?

Hi!! I have gone through your complaints and according to me you should not use hypercare as it is not to be used on red irritated areas. It will aggravate your problem. You should keep this area as dry as possible, wear cotton underwear and be in cool and airy environment. Also apply cream containing mild steroid and antifungal combination like clotrimazole beclomethasone twice daily on the affected area. This can be continued for 10 days and then you can revert back to me.This will surely help you.
