I have white patches and flaky skin around my groin and thighs, and it itches a lot sometimes. Ive been using itch guard for the past two days, but theres no relief yet. Should I keep applying it, or is this something I should see a doctor for right away?
You may be experiencing a fungal infection such as jock itch. In addition to using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream, I recommend keeping the affected area clean and dry. You can continue applying the antifungal cream twice a day for 2-4 weeks. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen after a week of using the cream, it would be advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
