Resolved question:
there's been dry patche of skin on the genital area( on thigh near scrotum) and the skin peels off, when the skin peels off, it reveals a redish layer of skin. I'm starting to get concerned, what can it be? and is there any serious issue ? what are the treatments ( home treatments will be preferable because It may be difficult for me to bring medicine from chemist because parents will ask and I ll feel embrassment as this is in private area ? I am 18 year boy old virgin.

Hello
Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
I can understand your concern.
You have fungal infection called tinea. It's also called ringworm. It's caused in conditions of heat and humidity. It needs to be treated or it will keep spreading.
Application of lamisil cream will be helpful. It has to be applied twice a day for two weeks. There is no home remedy for a fungal infection. You will need to apply the cream.
Please let me know if you have any queries.
Take care,
Regards.
ringworm so I need to apply ring guard cream ? this is ring guard cream available in market http://www.dailybodycare.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/800x800/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/r/i/ring-gard-cream.jpg
and will it spread to scrotum and penis ? because they are near to it and scrotum and penis keep on touching that ringworm.
and what precaution should I take for future so that it won't happen again ?
Hello.
As i told you earlier, apply Lamisil Cream as it is supposed to be very effective in treating your condition.
Also you can take Tab. Fluconazole 150 mg one single dose.
Remember the main cause of fungal infection is poor local hygiene, less air leading to more moist areas ( scrotum ). It can spread to the scrotum and other areas. Hence please start treatment as soon as possible.
Regards.
