Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I was having sex with my girlfriend and she just finished her period. I was sweating a lot while having sex and after that, I got some allergy on my navel area just above the penis. It is painful and the area becomes red and more painful in the evening. I applied candid cream as I have it at home. I am attaching a picture of the allergy. Kindly review.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com
I read your query and examined the image (the attachment was removed to protect the patient's identity). It seems like a friction rash. I suggest you use a soothing lotion, like Calasoft AF Lotion. I hope this helps.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Can you give me the generic name for this cream? So I can buy from a local chemist here. Thank you in advance.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com
It is calamine lotion. I hope I have cleared all your doubts.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Can I use candid with that or it is of no use? Today I can see small white boils with little pus inside. It is painful also and very uncomfortable. Please help.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com
This suggests bacterial folliculitis. In this case, I suggest you use a topical antibiotic either Mupirocin 2% cream or Fusidic acid 2% cream, twice daily. Candid is a topical antifungal, not an antibiotic. I hope this helps. Kindly contact back for more queries.
Thank you.
