Suggest Medication For Painful And Oily Rashes In The Groin

Sir I am having some rashes near my penises at the side of my legs. They are since 1 month. I thought it would go automatically so I have not maintained good hygiene. I now wash them several times with pears soap at night. They are now painful and a bit oily. I told my mom about this she told me to apply candid b. My age is 15.
I am worried
What should I do now?

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of painful and oily rashes in the groin which seems to be due to infection of hair follicles leading to folliculitis.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you Apply little pressure on that area with cotton dipped in warm water to ooze out the pus properly. Take antibiotics orally to prevent further infection. Use calamine lotion on that to resolve itchiness. Your symptoms will start resolving in 3-5 days. If it keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once to find out any hidden cause for your symptoms. Apply betadine over the area and clean that area properly with an antimicrobial agent. Use of corticosteroid ointment is helpful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
