What Causes Recurrent Itching Sensation In The Groin Area Despite Using Canesten?

Hello Docs, I have a groin itching problem since long. Sometimes when it is moist with perspiration it tends to develop cracks too. That part is I used to apply Itch guard and it used to relieve me for some days but again comes back. Since last 2 week I applied Canesten Cream 3-4 times. But it s not of any use. Kindly suggest me some good cream or powder.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I think taking Canestran cream three times daily for at least a week is necessary to help you with a candida infection. You should use the ointment regularly. If it still is not useful you may need to use oral antifungals.

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

Take care

Regards,
