What Causes Skin Chaffing In The Groin Area?
I have experienced effects of chaffing in the groin area for about three weeks now. Most of the irritation has been resolved through medicated powder and treatment, however, there appears to be two small areas that feel like cuts that persists. Is there an OTC that can help with this?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to fungal infection and dryness. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area and instead you can use saline or warm water. You can apply ointments or creams with combination of antifungal like miconazole and corticosteroid like flucinolone. Aloe Vera gel is also helpful.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
