Suggest Remedy For Burning Sensation In The Groin Area
Question: I have a burning sensation in the groan area that started yesterday. No redness or swelling. It is like the burn when you put tiger balm on a sensitive area.
Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to this site!
I have noted your details and think that this is possibly due to a heightened response of your skin to the ingredients of balm.
Under present conditions, you are likely to benefit from the following measures:
1 To avoid using the balm again
2 Cool compresses to the area every four to six hourly
3 Keep the part well ventilated
4 Use Mupirocin containing ointment three times a day to prevent infection.
5 Have anti allergics like Levocetirizine
It is likely to take some days before the reaction subsides significantly.
I hope this helps you recover fast.
Best wishes from us!
