Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

It is fungal infection and named as Jock itch. You need to apply Hydrocortisone cream; Plus Clotrimazole cream on the affected area. Take Loratadine by mouth.

Take plenty of fluids. Wear cotton only Underwears and loose clothes. Dont use scented soaps and shampoos. Take shower with Oatmeal milk and honey body wash.


Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions in future, feel free to contact me anytime & I will get back to you in no time. Please give a positive feedback.

Have a wonderful time ahead.


Best Regards!
