Hi,
I understand your concern.
Once it is confirmed that you have a fungal infection since long time-
Management would consist of medical treatment & personal care.
- A through examination by your doctor to decide type of infection & culture of the swab/scraping from affected area should be done.
some times same complaints with itching & rash is seen in eximatus skin disease- where treatment differs.( avoiding allergens personal care & betamethasone cream.
Mostly anti fungal medicines like metronidazole orally & fluconazole ointment locally( with Vitamin B complex / vitamin A/ Vitamin C supplements is given For keeping the skin healthy.) for a period depending on extent of infection.
Treatment of both sex partners is advised , With a tip to avoid sex till the problem is cured.
Cleanliness of genital area/ keeping it dry & smooth( mixing the ointment with moisturizer./ using loose fitting cotton undergarments & using ointment advised locally is vital for cure.
Genital area being covered,moist -repeated infection is common. The medicines need to be taken repeatedly with doctor's advise. The complete cure should be followed by careful self preventive efforts as per advise of doctor.
Thanks.
