Suggest Treatment For Peeling Scrotal Skin With Redness And Exudate

I think I had an allergic reaction to some lotion I used for chafing in my scrotum after a run. The skin has turned red the peeled. It looks similar to a burn and it is raw and seeping a clear fluid. I know it is not an std but it has been there for two days and it really hurts... It seems to be getting better as I ve treated it with antibiotic ointment and ice but I m wondering if I should see a doctor or wait a day or two to see if it goes away

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to either an allergic reaction or any infection.

Application of ointment Lobate GM (pharmacologically Clobetasol + Miconazole + Neomycin) will reduce the symptoms.
1. Clobetasol being a steroid will reduce the inflammatory process
2. Miconazole being an anti-fungal agent will take care of any fungus causing the symptoms
3. Neomycin being an anti-bacterial agent will prevent secondary bacterial infections.

You can also take antihistamine preparation like Cetrizine or Allegra for symptomatic relief.
In addition, keep the area dry & avoid too much exposure to water or sweat formation.

If symptoms still persist, kindly consult your Doctor for proper clinical examination.
Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
