Patient's question:
When taking a nap, my inner thigh was itchy. I thought it was because of poor hygiene, so I took a shower. After the shower, it still felt very itchy. Then I noticed many small red bumps. Every time it itched, I scratched it with my hand, and the skin started to break. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Considering you have a high possibility of having folliculitis. It is recommended to go to a private, regular hospital's dermatology department for a thorough examination and diagnosis. Apply alcohol or iodophor for sterilization, and use topical antibiotic ointment. Take Amoxicillin dispersible tablets orally for treatment. The testicles can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
