Patient's question:
Recently, I've been having frequent sexual activity with my girlfriend. I've been experiencing itching down there and a slight pain during urination. Today while taking a shower, I noticed many small red blisters on my glans. When I rubbed them with my hand, the skin peeled off. I have slightly long foreskin, and I visited a hospital. The doctor said that surgery is not necessary.Doctor's answer:
Here’s the English translation of the provided text, with line breaks preserved as instructed:Warm reminder: The reply is for reference only and cannot replace clinical diagnosis. For definitive confirmation, please consult relevant hospitals.
You have tinea cruris (jock itch), a common condition among young people, especially in communal living settings where it can be easily transmitted. Therefore, hygiene is crucial. Wash underwear with hot water and expose it to sunlight.
Don’t listen to doctors talking about injections—just use ointment. But you’ll need to apply it for a while, so don’t get impatient.
Treatment for tinea cruris:
Buy a tube of clotrimazole cream and a tube of terbinafine cream. First, apply the clotrimazole cream to relieve itching, then the terbinafine cream. Alternate between them in the morning and evening for the best results! You must persist with treatment for a period of time!
Prevention of tinea cruris:
(1) Maintain personal hygiene and avoid improper sexual relationships. Do not use others’ underwear, pants, or bathing utensils.
(2) Change underwear frequently and keep the groin area clean. Regularly wash and dry bedding.
(3) Reduce sweating and promote evaporation in the groin area. Keep the perineum dry, wear loose and comfortable underwear, and avoid tight clothing.
(4) If you have onychomycosis (toenail fungus), athlete’s foot, or ringworm, seek active treatment to prevent transmission to the groin via the hands.
