I've been dealing with itching and rashes in my private area for about a month now, and it's getting really bothersome. Because of the lockdown, I haven't been able to see a doctor. Is there anything I can do to help with this at home, or should I be worried about something more serious?

Itchiness and rashes in the private area for a month can be due to a fungal infection. You can try using an over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply it twice a day for 2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry. If there is no improvement or if it worsens, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
