Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having this problem for almost five years now. When I was 16 or so I decided to shave my pubic hair. This left the area on and around my penis very itchy, so I was expecting it to get better when the hair grew back. Unfortunately, when the hair grew back the itch remained. I ve been to a doctor and now a dermatologist and they have given me cream for fungal and bacterial infections as well as eczema, but the itch still remains. I have noticed that it gets very itchy when I m hot and when the skin gets irritated somehow. I ve also noticed that the skin is never dry. Even after blow drying the area, after 15 minutes or so the area starts to get kind of sticky and itchy again. I don t know what it could be. Please help me out. I ve tried nearly everything.
I think you should better visit a dermatologist to see again your skin and discuss it's problems. I believe it can be a fungal infection and you may need to take cotrimoxazole cream and also corticosteroid cream combination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
