I'm really struggling with lichen planus on my legs for the past 5 years and it's been a tough journey. I've tried homeocare for over 4 years, but it hasn't helped much and I'm getting really frustrated. Can you suggest any better treatments available in Hyderabad? I'm looking for something that could actually make a difference.

I've got these white patches and flaky skin around my groin and thighs, and it's really itchy at times. I've been using itch guard for about two days now, but it's not helping at all. Should I keep using the itch guard or is it time to see a doctor about this?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection such as jock itch. In addition to using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream, I recommend keeping the affected area clean and dry. You can continue applying the antifungal cream twice a day for 2-4 weeks. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen after a week of using the cream, it would be advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Consider consulting an allergist or dermatologist to determine the specific acid(s) causing the reaction; in the meantime, avoid sour foods and products containing citric acid, malic acid, or tartaric acid; apply topical creams or ointments like petroleum jelly, aloe vera,
