Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 24 year old male. I am having itching at my thighs just at the line and on down those balls where there are hairs. It itches a lot, especially after taking a bath and at night. I have tried itch guard, but it is not giving much relief. Kindly help me.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Based on the description provided, It seems you are suffering from tinea cruris. Tinea cruris is a fungal infection of the groin. I suggest you follow certain general measures.

  • Avoid itching, and do not scratch it.
  • Change the undergarments regularly.
  • Avoid wearing wet clothes.
  • Do not apply any general or steroid creams like Betnovate, Surfaz ointment (Clotrimazole (1% W/W), Betamethasone (0.05% W/W), Tolnaftate (1% W/W), Neomycin (0.5% W/W)) or others.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
