Hi,

It could be urinary tract infection more likely than herpes along with the eczema.

You should drink plenty of water every day and try out the above mentioned medication.

If the symptoms persist, do consult your doctor.

Let us know about how you are doing and if you need any other information.

Regards.

thank you for the info. but i shower everyday (not that im catching offence to your diagnosis) i really dont moisturiz as much as i should but i only get flar ups only in the winter time when it gets cold it flares up. the most iv gotten that i can recall is 3 times durring the winter season but i have been to the clinic and they have yet to explain or diagnose me cause out of the 3 years this being the 3rd i went to the clinic twice and my discarges alwasy get explained as a non gahneria discharge or climida witch have both been treated by medication but the discharge sill comes back? and as far as i know herpes come with some symptoms  that are similar but dont match my condition like im yet to have a blister looking or puss like pimple or even remotely looking to that. in my genital area but yet i get tenderness in my genital area hotter than useale urin i wouldnt call it burning but just hot urin,muscle ahches but no fever or flu like symptoms so is it that i have herpes and eczema? or is it just one of the 2 causeing the issue ?

Hi,
I think the two conditions are unrelated. You need to wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites.
Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene .
Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.
For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone or desonide), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).
Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Moisturizing is one of the most important self-care treatments for sufferers of eczema. Keeping the affected area moistened can promote skin healing and relief of symptoms.

It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for your symptoms and a proper clinical examination.
