How can I treat fungal or bacterial infections around my private parts and toes?
Asked by Female, 40 · 3 months ago
Fungal infections in private parts or between toes respond best to antifungal creams or powders (like clotrimazole or terbinafine). If it's bacterial, topical antibiotics may be needed. Keep the area clean, dry, and sweat-free, and see a doctor if it doesn't improve in 1-2 weeks.
