Could You Please Suggest Any Medication For Rash On Groin In A 19yr Old?
Hi Doctor,My 19 yr old son has a really bad rash on his groin,he has not been sexually active in a yr and a half,it may be a heat rash but red spots don't look like a heat rash.It is only around the groin area,can you suggest some type of cream to use??
I would like to keep a possibility of fungal infection/Tinea cruris. In order to confirm my diagnosis, I would suggest a KOH scraping test.
In case it is found out to be fungal in origin, I would have advised a topical antifungal cream e.g clotrimazole or miconazole cream twice daily to be applied locally.
An OTC antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10mg once daily would help him symptomatically with the itch.
regards
