Terrible itching in my groin and the gluteal folds

Dear Doctor: ?

Dear Patient: You start Tablet Grisovin FP 250 mg twice daily for two months. Do not stop the tablets even when you get relief. Otherwise infection may return. Take Tablet Phenergan 25 mg one tablet at bed time till 10 to 15 days to prevent itching. If itching do not respond to this, then add Tablet Loratidine at bed time. You may get sedation with these tablets next day. Use Candid dusting powder in affected area. Use cotton underwears, stitched by tailor. Have four such underwears. Take out them from boiling water to kill the fungi or infection may return. After two moths you can use the 'new' commercially available underwears. Please do not use the old underwears or the infection may return. Apply gamma benzene hexacloride lotion to the affected area twice a week at bed time ( In case you may have scabies infection also). However, please consult a dermatologist before you take any of the above medication. He will do a thorough check up and advise you the same.
