Brief Answer:
You can apply Lobate GM cream twice daily and take Allegra 180 once daily

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
It appears that you have an allergic reaction on the skin of your scrotum. This can be due to use of a particular soap or detergent used to wash your inner clothes or can also happen due to insect bite in the region.

LOBATE-GM cream contains clobetasol propionate 0.05 % w/w, neomycin sulphate 0.5 % w/w, miconazole 2 % w/w. This is a combination of a topical steroid, anti microbial and anti fungal preparation. Application of LOBATE GM should give you relief and also prevent any further infection in the region. This can be applied twice a day over involved area. Please avoid scratching the area with your nails. If there is no improvement in a week or if there is severe itching or pain then please consult your doctors immediately for oral medications to treat the condition.

For itching you can continue taking Allegra 180 once daily only for few days on empty stomach.

Please keep your genital area dry and avoid wearing tight inner clothes. Wash your genital region twice a day with warm water.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
