General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
This is the belt area and the undershave starts here. Its due to humidity and is called contact dermatitis. Wear All-Cotton underwears and loose clothes. Don't tighten the belt so much.

Apply Hydrocortisone cream ( combination of hydrocortisone+Clotrimazole ). If not available, you may take both the ingredients in separate creams and apply together. Take Tablet Claritin twice daily for 1 week then 1 daily for next week. It will go away in no time.


Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
 

Best Regards!
