Question : I'm Anas from XXXXXXX (41/M). I started having mild itching symptoms around my penis & surrounding genital area in the last 1-2 days. The symptoms look like jock itch and am also having mild itching as well, hence am contacting you for medical advice. I’m cleaning the affected area clean, shaved, washing daily…etc. Please advise what treatment is needed or let me know if any ointment application is needed. Thank you
