Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What problem you are having seems to be skin infection, probably caused due to fungus.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Wash the area with warm water and mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. Following drying, apply Clotrimazole with Hydrocortisone skin cream over the lesions.
3. Take Tablet. Levocetirizine once a day to overcome itching.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments to provide good ventilation and to avoid friction.
5. Abstain from sexual activities till the lesions heal completely.
Maintain good personal hygiene. The lesions should heal gradually and should be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
