Hi Doctor,Ive been noticing a strong smell coming from my groin area, kind of like sweaty socks, especially when Im sitting. This started about a week ago. A couple of months ago, I had a fungal infection around my anus, and I completed the treatment prescribed by the doctor (ITZ-HH capsule and Livafin cream). Ive been using Candid 1% clotrimazole soap now, but it doesnt seem to be helping. What should I do to get rid of this smell and prevent it from getting worse?
I recommend adding an antifungal cream such as Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) twice daily to the affected area. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid tight underwear to help prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
