Identification and General Care

• Fungal infections in the genital area are common. Keep the area clean and dry to prevent worsening.

Hygiene Practices

• Wash gently with mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly to avoid moisture buildup.

Clothing Recommendations

• Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear. Avoid tight clothing to reduce irritation.

Over-the-Counter Treatments

• Use antifungal creams like clotrimazole or miconazole. Apply as directed on the package.

When to See a Doctor

• Consult a doctor if symptoms worsen, pain occurs, or there's no improvement after self-care.

Additional Tips

• Avoid sexual contact until the infection clears. Do not share towels and maintain overall skin health.

Relevant Medical Specialties

• Dermatology and urology can provide further consultation if needed.
