It sounds like you’re dealing with a sensitive situation, and you’ve taken some appropriate initial steps. Given the history of burns and ongoing sensitivity, immediate priorities should involve soothing the skin and minimizing further irritation. First, continuing with Cicaplast Baume B5+ is wise; it promotes healing by providing a protective barrier and aids skin regeneration. You might want to consider adding a mild over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to manage redness and any leftover inflammation but only short-term and sparingly to avoid potential side effects. Once irritation subsides, introducing a product rich in ceramides could help restore the skin barrier—a gentle moisturizer like Eucerin or CeraVe might be beneficial. Patting the area dry after cleansing is crucial; avoid rubbing or scrubbing as this can exacerbate sensitivity. Wearing loose-fitting, breathable cotton clothing will minimize friction and moisture build-up. Managing sweat is vital, and using an unscented, gentle absorbent powder could help; but avoid talc-based powders due to potential health risks. Long-term, if you notice your symptoms are not improving or additional lesions form, it would be sensible to revisit a dermatologist to potentially reassess your symptoms and treatment plan. If any signs of infection recur, such as pus, increasing redness, or fever, seek medical attention promptly. However, for now, these approaches should contribute to soothing and supporting your skin’s recovery process.
Hello, I understand your concern. The symptoms you are describing are most likely due to a severe irritant/contact dermatitis (chemical burn) from the Adacne Clin, especially since the groin skin is very sensitive. It is a good sign that the penile area has healed, but the groin skin is still in the recovery phase, which is why you are experiencing redness, burning, and sensitivity with minimal friction or sweating. The skin barrier in the groin area is damaged and very sensitive. Healing in this region takes longer due to friction, moisture, and sweat.
Continue using a barrier repair moisturizer (like Cicaplast Baume B5+) 2–3 times daily. Use “Ointment Zinc Oxide” during the day to reduce friction. Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear. Keep the area dry and sweat-free as much as possible. Avoid any harsh soaps, scrubs, or medicated creams for now.
You can continue Nystatin + zinc oxide if it is giving relief. If burning and redness are significant, kindly consult a doctor physically or take one to one online consultation with a dermatologist/ family medicine specialist as one more medicine should be added, but that should only be done after visual inspection of your skin issue.
Avoid- Reusing adapalene or any acne creams in that area, Tight clothing or excessive walking temporarily, Frequent washing or over-cleaning.
Physically Consult a doctor if: Redness or burning is not improving in 1–2 weeks. There is oozing, cracks, or signs of infection. Pain worsens significantly.
This type of reaction is reversible, but healing in the groin area can take a few weeks due to constant friction and moisture. Focus on gentle care and skin barrier repair, the skin will gradually return to normal.

Hello
What you’re dealing with is most likely a post-irritant dermatitis (a kind of chemical burn) from Adacne Clin. The groin skin is very thin and sensitive, so recovery can take a few weeks even after stopping the product.
For healing (“reconstruction”), the focus should be on barrier repair, moisture control, and avoiding further irritation. Continue a soothing barrier cream like Cicaplast Baume B5+ 2–3 times daily. You can also use plain petroleum jelly (Vaseline) at night to help restore the skin barrier faster. Keep using the nystatin + zinc oxide if sweating causes redness, as it protects against friction and fungal overgrowth.
Keep the area dry, wear loose cotton underwear, avoid tight clothes, and avoid soaps or antiseptics on that area—just wash with plain water or a very mild cleanser. Do not restart acne creams or any strong actives there.
If burning with sweating continues beyond another 1–2 weeks, or if redness spreads, a short course of a mild steroid cream (only if prescribed) may be needed to calm the inflammation.
Healing usually takes 2–4 weeks, sometimes a bit longer in the groin.
I trust this helps Thank you
Hello dear See as per clinical history it seems chemical burn due to Fusidic acid combination with steroids (verutex) Nystatin and zinc oxide provides good comfort so continue its application However below precautions are required Stop combination of fusidic acid and steroids Do caucabimb5 for improvement Use lukewarm water Avoid phenol Avoid itching Wash with betadine water dressing Apply lulliconazole or fusidic acid topical application but only one among two In case of no improvement in 1 week consult general physician medicine for better clarity Regards Re
Hello It sounds like you’ve been through quite a lot with the irritation and sensitivity in the groin area. I’m glad to hear that the penis has healed, but I understand how frustrating it can be to deal with ongoing sensitivity in the groin.
### Here are some suggestions for reconstructing and soothing the skin in that area:
1. Gentle Cleansing: - Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser to wash the area. Avoid harsh soaps or scrubs that can irritate the skin further.
2. Moisturizing: - Continue using Cicaplast Baume B5+ as it’s great for skin repair. You can also consider using Aquaphor Healing Ointment or Vaseline to create a protective barrier and lock in moisture.
3. Barrier Creams: - Nystatin + Zinc Oxide is a good choice for preventing further irritation. You can also look for barrier creams specifically designed for sensitive areas, which can help protect the skin from moisture and friction.
4. Avoid Irritants: - Wear loose-fitting, breathable cotton underwear to reduce friction and allow the area to breathe. Avoid synthetic fabrics that can trap moisture and heat.
5. Hydrocortisone Cream: - A mild over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream (1%) can help reduce inflammation and itching. Use it sparingly and not for prolonged periods.
6. Avoid Heat and Sweat: - Try to keep the area cool and dry. If you know that sweating triggers irritation, consider using absorbent powders like talc-free body powder to help keep the area dry.
7. Consult Your Dermatologist: - Since you have a history of sensitivity, it’s a good idea to follow up with your dermatologist. They may recommend specific treatments or products tailored to your skin type.
8. Patience and Care: - Skin healing can take time, especially in sensitive areas. Continue to be gentle with the area and give it time to recover fully.
Thank you
