Hi Doctor, Since last 15-20 days I am facing itching in my right bum. I am feeling uncomfortable because of that. The place itching is happening it looks dry and skin looks white, but I use to apply moisturizer across body. Because of itching now I am not using moisturizer in that place. Is it is a big issue or anything need to apply on that place to relief from that problem.

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. 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, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please call me or 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.
