Itch Guard Cream For Fungal Infections

I have a terrible irritating sensation in my private part and it's reddish black in colour. I workout heavily, is problem due to sweat. I started applying candid (powder) which stopped the final growth but didn't cure the already existing part. I started applying itch guard and it's paining more. Please suggest some remedies.

It is a fungal infection mostly but it will not be cured by allopathic medicine. It will keep coming back. For permanent solution take proper homoeopathic treatment. Once you pay the consultation fees, will be able to call or chat and get all the details to suggest right treatment.

Hello, I am having itching in groin area and skin color also changed to slightly brackish, it also seems white when dry. I tried treating with ring guard but no effect. Recently I observed a little swelling as well. Since the area is closed between 2 parts of the body it does not get required air. Any suggested treatment?

It can be jock itch/fungal infection. U can try this wash the affected skin two to three times a day. Keep the affected area dry.Avoid excess affected skin irritation by wearing 100% cotton underwear. Avoid fabric softeners, bleaches, or harsh laundry detergents. Wash your workout clothes, underwear, socks, and towels after each use. Keep your affected area, inner thighs, and buttocks clean and dry, especially after you exercise and shower. After showering or bathing, dry the irritated affected area by gently patting it with a towel. Be sure to dry your skin thoroughly. Mix two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in two cups of warm water. Wash the infected area with this solution and allow it to dry on its own. Another option is to apply a mixture of equal parts of white vinegar and coconut oil on the affected skin. Like hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol can help kill off the fungus that's on the surface level of the skin. You can apply it directly to the affected area listerine: it has antiseptic, antifungal and antibacterial properties, which help treat skin problem here are some tips to help you manage the infection:avoid using oily skin products.Reduce your exposure to the sun. Exposure to the sun may trigger or worsen an episode, do not wear tight clothing. Wear breathable fabrics, such as cotton, to decrease sweating. For this homeopathic treatment is very effective for more details you can consult me.

Dear lybrate-user please don't use itch guard. Stop using soap. Apply coconut oil twice, sebifin plus once a day for 3-4 days and then stop. Testicular itching is very common after dryness. If still persists, call mobile for guidance and treatment. Regards.

He may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. It is also called jock itch. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi5, cloben g betnovate, dermikem oc, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household.

It can be because of jock itch or fungal infection. The condition most often occurs when people wear tight-fitting clothing that traps in moisture. U can try this— wash the affected skin two to three times a day. Keep the affected area dry. Avoid excess affected skin irritation by wearing 100% cotton underwear. Avoid fabric softeners, bleaches, or harsh laundry detergents. Wash your workout clothes, underwear, socks, and towels after each use. Keep your affected area, inner thighs, and buttocks clean and dry, especially after you exercise and shower. After showering or bathing, dry the irritated affected area by gently patting it with a towel. Be sure to dry your skin thoroughly.

Reduce your exposure to the sun. Exposure to the sun may trigger or worsen an episode, and a tan makes the rash more visible. Do not wear tight clothing.

I have got a jock itch problem from 2 months and I used itch guard cream to remove but it's not yet still removed and it is itching also I used clotrimazole cream but stopped in the middle as it was itching after applying the cream. Please suggest me the best cream to cure jock itch as I am facing problem.

Hi lybrate-user, last 2 months would have been very distressing for you due to jock itch and increased humidity of summer. First of all do not use itch guard cream. As it makes the skin sensitive and might lead to irritation. Secondly, do not self treat fungal infection. Most of the times you will need an oral antifungal along with topical antifungal. Self treatment might lead to resistance to drugs as mostly patients take inappropriate dosing. Also, oral antifungals have lots of side effects. Take them under supervision of a dermatologist only. There is no best cream, your treatment will depend on severity of your lesions. Thirdly, itching due to clotrimazole might me due to the itch guard cream you applied, as it makes skin sensitive or you might just be allergic to it. Take proper consultation from your nearby qualified dermatologist. Hope it helps.
