Hydrozole cream or ...

[carlyai]

I always end up with an inflamed rash from riding my bike and working out in the garden.

 

Last time in Aus the dr gave me hydrozole to use when the rash developes.

 

Question 1:

 

What is the brand name of the Thai equiv. of Hydrozole?

 

Question 2:

 

It's impossible not to sweat in the groin and bottom areas, and riding bikes and gardening causes rubbing of sweaty clothes against the skin, but is there a friendlier version of hydrozole to use?

 

Sorbolene seems a good alternative, but it's got no antibacteria properties that I'm aware of.

 

I remember my dad always cleaned his groin and toe area with Metho when he was in the forces in the tropics. Could metho work?

 

I'm a non-smoker.

I use Sudocream, it's messy but does stop soreness.

Literature seems good, will give it a go.
Thanks.

Maybe Dermaheu might work for you. It is anti bacterial and anti fungal. I was put on to it for tropical ear. Works a treat.

It is available over the counter so chat to a pharmacist to see if it might be good for you.

Thanks for the reply. PM me if your tropical ear gets bad again. Mine's all gone for years.

  Hydrozole is prescribed to treat jock itch and other fungal infections. Most Thai pharmacies stock anti-fungal creams, ointments or sprays. If your symptoms are not caused by a fungal infection then anti-fungal treatments may not give relief.

   If your rash symptoms are not caused by a fungal infection, I recommend Clinivate-N Cream, which treats allergic and inflammatory dermatoses. A 15-gram tube costs around 75 baht and is what I use for itchy skin and rashes.

I recommend getting some stretchy biker shorts.  If you're shy, you can wear other shorts overtop but they do wonders for preventing chafing rashes.  Added bonus: they wick moisture away from your sweaty regions much better than loose cotton clothing.  If you're actually a bike rider, you might want to go one step further and use butt balm.  Yes there really is such a thing.  Generic vaseline might be just as good.

Thank yòu@attrayant

I do have those padded bike pants, and was trying to get away from strong antifungal creams. But (hehe) I'll keep your but cream in mind.

Everyone is giving poor advice,

You've got a yeast/fungal infection, impossible to cure as the spores live in your underwear, trousers and girlfriends privates. In Thailand it can be controlled with Canasone cream (90bht for 25g), apply a small amount every morning, one tube lasts about 2 months.

If you don't apply every day, the rash will be back a week later.

Thank you for that advice.

I think I'll try the Sudocream as it seems friendlier. I was trying to get away from using strong antifungals for a long time.
