Hello,

Ketoconazole 2% apply twice daily for 4–6 weeks

Keep the area dry, clean, loose cotton underwear, separate towel, avoid scratching.

Itchy eyes likely allergic conjunctivitis → wash with clean water, avoid rubbing, lubricating drops;

see eye doctor if pain, swelling, vision change.

I trust this helps Thank you

Hello Raman Aapke symptoms ko dekh kar lagta hai ki yeh fungal infection ho sakti hai, jo commonly “ringworm” (daad) ke naam se bhi jaani jaati hai. Yeh usually gilepan, ghisav, ya humidity ki wajah se hoti hai, aur buttocks, thighs par gol, laal ya kaale patch ban jaate hain jo raat ko zyada khujli karte hain. Moisture absorb hone ka matlab hai ki infection aur fail sakti hai. Aankhon mein bhi itching hai, toh ho sakta hai allergy ya fungal infection ka effect ho.

Meri soch ab tak: - Yeh fungal infection lag rahi hai

Rx- Clotrimazole cream - apply on affected area Flucanazole 150 mg - take on alternate day for 7 days

Thank you

Hello Raman, thank you for sharing your concern. Here is my advise-

1. Take this prescription - - Tab. Terbinafine 250mg once daily after food × 4 weeks - Cream Luliconazole 1% for local application twice a day × 4 weeks - Tab. Levocetirizne 5mg at night × 2 weeks. - Eye Drop CMC 1 drop in each eye 2-3 times / day × 1 week. - Review after 1 month.

2. STRICTLY AVOID any steroid mixed creams, Scratching, Tight underwear / synthetic fabric, Sharing towels/clothes, Applying oil, neem, toothpaste, home remedies.

3. Hygiene - Wear loose cotton underwear, Change sweaty clothes immediately, Dry groin completely after bath (use towel or fan), Iron underwear (kills fungal spores).

Regards, Dr. Nirav Jain MBBS, DNB D.Fam.Medicine

These symptoms may suggest a persistent fungal infection known as jock itch, along with possible allergic conjunctivitis contributing to eye symptoms. Managing the jock itch starts with keeping the affected areas dry and clean, since fungi tend to thrive in moist environments. Make sure to shower daily and dry the area thoroughly, perhaps even using a hair dryer on the cool setting. Wear loose-fitting, breathable underwear to reduce moisture buildup. You might consider using an over-the-counter antifungal cream or powder containing clotrimazole or miconazole. Apply the medication as directed on the packaging, usually for about two weeks. In more resistant cases, a prescribed antifungal might be necessary. Avoid sharing towels or other personal items to reduce the spread of the fungus. The itchy eyes could be due to an allergic component, possibly exacerbated by environmental allergens like dust or pollen. For this, a non-prescription antihistamine eyedrop may offer relief, or even oral antihistamines, which can address both skin and eye symptoms. Pay attention to potential irritants such as pollen, dust, or pet dander, and try to minimize exposure. If there’s no improvement with these steps or if symptoms worsen, see a healthcare provider. They can assess for other possibilities like eczema or psoriasis and ensure that you’re not missing a more serious cause like a bacterial infection, which might require different treatments. Always get a thorough evaluation if things don’t start to improve within a week or so or for continuous issues with your eyes, as these can indicate underlying problems requiring specialized care.
