Suggest Remedy For Itchy Rashes Around The Genital Area

Hello, I have developed a dark rash in the creases of my genital area and it itches really bad. I thought it was dry skin, but even when I put coconut oil or Vaseline on it, it doesn t help. The skin also has dry white patches. I have not been sexually active in over 2 years and I noticed it happening when I shaved my genital area completely bald. Please help!!!

Hi,

It seems that probably you may be having candidal intertrigo. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

It may be precipitated by perspiration, wetness and soap. Poor hygiene and poor immunity promote the diseases.

Apply antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream. Take the Ketoconazole tablet. Cleanse the area with diluted Dettol liquid.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel,
