Hello,

Take care of your hygiene. Take regular bath, clean your private area with water and antibacterial soap. Apply ointment hydrocortisone on the affected area, it will prevent itching. You can also take antihistamine at bedtime to control itching. Application of ice or cold compress on the affected area will give relieve. Do not touch or scratch.

Your symptoms are indicative of fungal infection or jock itch. Take a course of antifungal medicine. Apply clotrimazole ointment on the affected area for relief. Get STD tests done. If reports are positive, then you will be treated with antibiotics/ antivirals.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
