Dr. Arsha K Isac
I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hello

The symptoms you describe are most likely due to skin irritation from friction (frictional dermatitis), not an infection—especially since there is no discharge or bad odor.

What you can do now: Avoid friction and pressure as much as possible

Keep the area clean and dry

Use a simple, fragrance-free moisturizer (a thin layer of petroleum jelly is fine)

Wear loose, cotton underwear

Avoid harsh soaps or antiseptics

Avoid:

Using steroid or antifungal creams without medical advice

Scratching or peeling the skin

See a doctor if:

Redness or itching lasts more than 7–10 days

You develop significant pain, deep cracks, or discharge

Symptoms worsen or keep coming back

This usually improves with rest and reduced friction.

I trust this helps Thank you
