A prickly itch in your naughty bits, especially in public places, makes for an extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing situation. The constant urge to scratch your private parts is an indication of you not taking your intimate hygiene seriously and that you might just be suffering from skin infections in your private areas.   
Such infections in intimate areas are exacerbated during hot and humid summers. With the mercury hitting 40 degrees Celcius, ensuring optimal intimate hygiene is paramount. Although regular baths and the use of talcum powders might be a summer routine for most of us to keep infections at bay, taking care of private parts requires much more than just that.

We contacted experts to get you a complete guide on how to keep those nasty red rashes and wet disgusting infections from coming at you.    
  
Dr Rohan Palshetkar, head of Unit Bloom IVF, professor, department of OBGY, DY Patil School of Medicine tells Mid-day.com that infections of the intimate areas are common in summer.  “Sweating in the genital area can create a warm, moist environment that promotes the growth of bacteria and yeast, leading to infections. Further, dehydration can cause vaginal dryness, making it easier for bacteria to enter the vagina and cause infections,” says Palshetkar.
