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.
Hi, I am a 23 year old woman and recently had a rash/ outbreak of what i and my doctor believed to be herpes around my genital region. he sent me for a blood test and it came back negative for herpes. The rash itches and is slightly sore. what else could this be if it isn t herpes?
First and foremost diagnosis that will come into my mind for itching in groin region is scabies. For this you have to apply scaboma or calamine lotion over your whole body below neck in night after getting bath with warm water. Don't apply this lotion over the facial region and use whole bottle for single application at one point of time. Take tab levocetrizine twice daily or tab avil thrice daily after meals for severe itching with tab neurobion-forte or cap zevit once daily preferably in afternoon. You also have to take tab bandy-plus one tab stat at night and one after 7 days. There are also some other fungal or parasitic skin disorders in which groin lesions with itching is there.
