Is It Safe To Use Hydrogen Peroxide For The Treatment Of Itching In The Groin Area?
My wife has an itchy crotch and is worried that she might have crabs. She hasn t had sex with another man for at least 10 days, so I don t understand why she wouldn t have experienced discomfiture before now or indeed why I too wouldn t be affected by this point in time. I have suggested to her that she use some of my hydrogen peroxide as a first step.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Hydrogen should not be used on intact skin especially in the groin area which has got very fragile skin.
It might be some kind of fungal infections. She can apply anti-fungal Clotrimazole and steroid combination after cleaning the area with soap and water.
Hope I have answered your query.
