okay i went to the drug store and bought some OTC (clotrimazole).
been applying it as instructed, we'll see how it goes. i should've sacked up (no pun intended) and scheduled a dermatologist visit. woe is me, im too scared to tell my parents nor do i have the money/insurance...
its getting worse, very itchy during the day.
kind of nervous to go see a doctor because i dont really know how the process works. will my insurance cover? i guess i'll go find a dermatologist via online and check it out...
Hello,
It can be due to yeast or fungal infection. Keep the area dry and wear cotton underwears and change them twice a day. Application of local antifungal cream(terbinafine, clotrimazole, econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole) and oral antifungal drugs are the mainstay of treatment. In case the symptoms persist then please consult a urologist/dermatologist for evaluation and antimicrobials and steroids prescription.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
