Patient's question:
Sometimes there is a lot of itching between the thigh and testicles. At first, only a small part is affected, but it gradually gets bigger, turns red, and sometimes it may leak. Can you tell me what other medications I can use besides paying attention to personal hygiene and not scratching?Doctor's answer:
This could be a problem of tinea cruris. Suggestion: It is recommended to apply topical antifungal medication for treatment, such as Terbinafine cream. Wash frequently and maintain dryness and cleanliness in the affected area. The testicles can recover, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to use medication appropriately during treatment. Additionally, the patient should follow a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
