Frequent Jock itch

2020-10-26 14:45:50
Whenever there is a jock-itch I use itch guard and it goes in two or three days. But nowadays it's recurring often and more irritable, red spots. Taking bath twice, cleaning using dettol and warm water and still no use. Can you please suggest for some permanent cure. Is there any major issue for frequent occurrence?

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. It is also called jock itch. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi5, cloben g betnovate, dermikem OC, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household

You need proper antifungal treatment. Itch guard is bot sufficient, also not advisable.  Dettol not to be used on any body parts, its irritating to skin. Contact for online consultation
