Patient's question:
Managing farm work at home often involves frequent immersion in water. Recently, I've noticed quite a few pimples of varying sizes around my buttocks, which are itchy and prone to oozing. Hello doctor, my condition is itchy and looks like jock itch or something. Should I take any medication or apply anything?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is likely a manifestation of eczema, or it could be jock itch caused by a fungal infection. It is recommended that you persist in taking anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving medications for a period of time. You can also use topical anti-allergic and anti-fungal creams in combination, such as Compound Ketoconazole Cream or Trimethicone Cream. Additionally, alternating with Calamine Lotion can be effective. In the meantime, try to minimize contact with water and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods like shrimp and fish.
