Bad odour near thighs
I'm getting a foul smell near my genitals,thigh area , I also maintain personal hygiene everyday but still the smell persists from past 4 months I'm facing this issue but the smell increased a little bit in winters.
P.S
A year before I got Jock Itch(Tinea Cruris) at that particular area but it was cured after consulting on practo with a dermatologist
The doctor prescribed some gel, capsule etc
And the problem resolved in under 2 months
But the scars of infection are still little bit visible.
I think the Jock Itch scars has something to do with the foul smell which I'm getting from there but there are no signs of infection like I'm not getting any problem or itching there everything is fine except the bad odour.
Please provide a solution
Thanks!
