What is the treatment for an itchy feeling and redness in the genitals?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have had an itchy feeling in my genitals for four days. The hair covers the area, so I cannot see exactly what is going on, but I can see a bit of redness and no pimples. The affected area is dry as if I have peeled it. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. You have a mild fungal infection, slight inflammation, and scaling. It can sometimes happen because of sweating and friction of hair follicles. I suggest you use the following prescription: 1. Keto B cream for local application twice daily for two weeks. 2. Tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg one tablet daily at night after meals for five days. It will heal within two weeks; if there is no improvement, you should plan for physical consultation with a specialist. I hope this information will help.
