To prevent scalp fungal infection, do not use very old and infested combs, brushes and such other hair care products. If you have groin fungal infection (Jock itch) and athlete?s foot together, then treating groin infection alone will not be sufficient. The foot infection can spread to groin and jock itch may recur. Do not share cloth, sports instruments, towels with others Wash thoroughly after suspected skin contact Avoid tight-fitting cloths. Change your socks and underwear repeatedly, if needed. After bath, make sure to dry the skin completely. If you have athlete?s foot, put your socks on before your underwear so that the infection does not spread. Avoid using oily skin products. Reduce your exposure to the afternoon sun. Increased sweating causes worsening of infection. Wear cotton cloth, which absorbs the sweat and moisture completely.

Hi thanks for writing to Lybrate. The predisposing factor in fungal infection in and around private part is clothing, the tight clothing like panties, jeans, tights etc. I would recommend yo use loose clothing. Do away with undergarments at bed time. Use Candid Powder around that area 3 times a day. If no relief in 7 days visit doctor personally. Â

You need to keep the area meticulously clean and dry. Take bath morning and evening and after bath pay special attention to the area affected between the thighs and pubic area and dry it thoroughly. Apply face powder between the thighs and pubic area so that the area remain dry for long. If no improvement come back in private chat or consult your local doctor. Â
