Suggest Treatment For Jock Itch
HI Dr Andrew I have had a jock itch type of irritation between the buttocks for many months now. Have used Clotrimazole Anti-Fungal Cream (Canesten) plus other steroidal creams to try and stop the itch. Even had a 10 day course of Clotrimazole tablets. All to no real benefit. Was told to try Betadine, a Povidone Iodine solution. Will this help? Any other suggestions greatly appreciated... Kind regards Paul PS I am 61 yrs old, no diabetes or any other health problems at all

In short: Go for stool test.
Explanation: Worm infestation can sometimes cause itch over there. Or else keep your butt crack clean by removing excess hair if present and dry.
It will subside by this, if not please visit a doctor , do not take self medication.
