Hello,
You can apply any brand of lactocalamine but do remember to wear cotton clothes and keep it as dry as possible by using a non perfumed hypoallergenic soap and they leaving it dry.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Hello,
From the appearance they appear as molluscum but the doctor is roght that they can be swollen sweat glands also. No treatment other than warm compresses and washing with fresh water are required but they become painful then it means they are infected, then topical and oral antimicrobials are required.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Hello thank you for your response Dr. Kaur. I'm going to take your advice and see a Dermatologist soon.
In the mean time, what kind of calamine lotion do you recommend? Brand? I have noticed that I sweat much more in that area than I use to. I have been wearing loose cotton boxers and what do you recommend I do to keep it dry? Baby powder?
Thank you again,
Hello,
Without examination, confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it can be contact dermatitis, rash due to friction rub with clothes, dermatitis (atopic, contact, allergic),excessive sweating causing sweat dermatitis or balanitis(due to an underlying infection (bacterial and fungal as well as other organisms) .
You may try calamine lotion on the rash. You should also maintain hygiene and try to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting cotton clothing. Also use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. You can also use calamine lotion and get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
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 doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
