Suggest Treatment For Skin Rashes And Itching Around Genital And Thigh

I am 27, 5"11, 84 kg and of good health. I recently got gonorrhea, in Nov 2011 and was treated. 2-3 weeks ago a rash developed around my genitals and thighs. It is a bit raised, red, scaly, itchy and the skin has broken in some parts and a smelly discharge is produced. I also itch a lot in my anal area. I have used Fluconazole thinking its Thrus but no success, I used a cream Bepanthen plus but it was not much help. I am currently using Talc which is keeping it in control, just. Can you be of help?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

It seems to be a fungal infection. I would recommend you to apply clotrimazole cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet cetirizine 10 mg twice daily for 2 weeks. This should resolve your problem.

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

Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
