I understand your query. I advice you to go for private consultation as it will help me to give you better advice and suggestion, if you have any issue in booking the online consultation do let me know. Avoid substances that cause irritation if you have contact dermatitis. This includes scented and perfumed soaps, and certain fabrics or materials. Practicing good hygiene can also reduce itching. Bathe or shower daily and thoroughly rinse soap from your private area. Make sure you clean underneath your foreskin to remove dead skin cells, dirt, and bacteria, which can cause irritation and itching. It?s also important to completely dry your body after bathing. Moisture can encourage the growth of yeast. If you have a history of ingrown hairs, avoid close shaves, shave in the direction of hair growth, and apply shaving cream before shaving to soften your skin. Also, wear loose-fitting underwear. Tight underwear can cause friction and a skin rash.
