Itchy, Discolored Skin With Bumps In Lower Abdomen. Severe Itching During Summer. Mild Relief With Anti-fungal Ointment. Advice

I am a 50 year old male. Developed an itchy discoloration with two bumps in lower abdominal area 3 weeks ago. About 6 to 8 inches wide by a couple inches high at belt line. It itches intensely at times, off & on, especially in warm weather or when wearing a belt. Have been using anti-fungal ointment to sooth as much as possible. Please advise. Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

You are probably suffering from Tinea cruris.

The area under belt sweats a lot and is prone for reccurent infections.

Antifungal powders will be of much help to you.

It will absorb moisture as well as destroy the fungi.

Take some antihistamine tab as well, it will reduce the itch.

Let me know if you have any other doubts.

meet a dermatologist if the symptoms persist longer.
