A member asked:
I have some acne in my pubic area and inner thigh. should i use otc anti fungal cream or antibiotic cream and for how long should i be applying it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benzoyl peroxide: Antifungals won't touch it and an antibiotic risks resistance if used alone. Good hygiene, keeping dry, loose underwear may help.
