Get some Canesten cream it is an anti fungal cream used for thrush and other fungal skin infections, it will clear it up in a few days.

Back to topic...
When living in Japan when to Korea for a holiday, got food poisoning which gave me a really itchy rash all over my body. Local hospital gave me two small tubes (Airfix glue size) of very sticky cream, which they said apply daily to the affected areas (ie bloody everywhere). Both tubes did about a forearm-and-a-half.

Re: Best piece of doctors advice ever...
So I'm suffering from an infection in, well, that part of my body (no, it's not because I've been naughty before you start thinking that) 
.
It's all because I've been exercising outside for a couple of hours almost everyday just after Iftar. Running, cycling, cross training etc. I'm sure Commander and the other sporting guys will know precisely what I'm referring to, and will probably laugh at this...
Anyway, so I went to the doctors to see if I could get something to clear it up quicker than the over the counter stuff I'd been using. Along with some other bits and pieces, this was by far the best (read most stupid) piece of advice he gave me...
"Keep the area cool and dry."
What? In the middle of a Dubai summer? Are you having a ****ing laugh? That's about as likely as selling sand to an Arab. *facepalm*
Has anyone else had a similarly stupid piece of advice from their doctor before?

The missus reckons I should play football in cycling shorts as then it wouldn't happen.
I'm sure the lads would love that, Christ.

Re: Best piece of doctors advice ever...
My favourite awful piece of advice was when I was having difficulty sleeping, I just couldn't nod off at night the doctor told me to get up and read a book to try and tire myself out. Unfortunately this had the extreme opposite effect on me and I found myself reading a huge chunk of the book and being totally wide awake.
