I have pink colored patches on my private part and groin with severe itching for the last 2 weeks. I used Sarfaz SN ointment and dusting powder, but the problem keeps coming back. How can I treat this problem?

Pink itchy patches in the groin area are often caused by a fungal skin infection that can return if the area stays moist. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid sharing towels or tight clothing. Antifungal creams are usually required for proper treatment. Consult a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and receive the suitable medicine.
I've had itching on the inner surface of my penis for 20 days, followed by burning after itching. My doctor recommended Surfaz-SN, but it hasn't resolved the issue. What other cream can I use?

If your symptoms have not improved even after 20 days, it is advisable to revisit your doctor so they can re examine the area, perform any necessary tests to identify the exact cause, and determine whether you require a different cream or another type of treatment, because persistent itching and burning generally need proper reassessment to ensure the most appropriate and effective management.
I have been dealing with ringworm for a year, and my treatment with Surfaz SN has not worked. What should I do?
Dr Bayyarapu Kumar
M Pharmacy
If ringworm persists for a year despite using Surfaz SN, it may be due to incomplete treatment, incorrect diagnosis, or a resistant fungal infection. It is important to consult a dermatologist for a proper examination, as they may take a skin scraping or culture to confirm the type of fungus. Based on the results, the doctor may prescribe an appropriate antifungal cream or oral antifungal medication and provide guidance on hygiene, clothing, and environmental measures to prevent reinfection. Avoid self-medicating further and follow the specialist's instructions carefully to ensure effective treatment.
Can I use Surfaz-SN cream for itching on my thighs during pregnancy?
Dr Bayyarapu Kumar
M Pharmacy
Surfaz-SN cream contains a steroid, an antibiotic, and an antifungal, so it is generally not recommended during pregnancy unless specifically prescribed by a doctor. Using steroids or antibiotics without supervision may carry risks for both you and your baby. For mild itching during pregnancy, safer alternatives include soothing emollients, gentle moisturisers, or mild topical antihistamines approved by your doctor. It is essential to consult your obstetrician or dermatologist before using Surfaz-SN to ensure safe and appropriate treatment.
I have been suffering from scabies for three weeks. What should I do if treatments keep failing?
Dr Bayyarapu Kumar
M Pharmacy
If scabies persists after three weeks of treatment, it may be due to incomplete application, reinfestation from close contacts, or, rarely, resistant mites. It is essential to consult a dermatologist for reassessment, who may recommend repeating or adjusting the treatment, ensuring all close contacts are treated at the same time, thoroughly cleaning bedding, clothing, and towels, and checking for secondary infections caused by scratching. Following the specialist?s instructions carefully is essential to achieve complete eradication and prevent reinfestation.
