I have a fungal infection around my genitals. Can it be treated at home?
Asked by Male, 27 · 2 months ago
Yes, in many cases, a mild fungal infection can be treated at home. Keeping the area clean and dry and applying an over-the-counter or prescription antifungal cream, such as clotrimazole or miconazole, for 1 to 2 weeks usually helps. Avoid tight clothing and do not use steroid-based creams unless prescribed. See a doctor if your symptoms persist, worsen, or recur.
