Itching in lower abdomen
I have bad itching problems in my abdomen and genital area for more than over a month. I consulted my doctor over this, and he said its fungal infection and prescribed a medicine and ointment to get rid of the infection but it doesnt seem to stop. Please have a look at the enclosed pic to see whether it is fungal in nature or not..?

Fungal infection is becoming an increasing problem due to misdiagnosis and wrong treatment with OTC medications. To add to the problem, many combination tubes are easily available in market and there is no regulation on the sale. They make the fungal infection a permanent problem though it may provide temporary relief. Please see a dermatologist as some extra medications are co-prescribed many a times to treat this complicated fungal infection. If needed a simple skin test can also be done to confirm the diagnosis. Till then use only over-the-counter anti-allergic medications to control itching. Personal hygiene should be good. Wear loose fitting clothes.
Next Steps
Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.
