Hello Mr. lybrate-user
I can understand your concern since it would be very painful and frustrating.
I practise Allopathy and can guide you with that. They can be completely treated by some Oral Medications and creams.
I will need to see your photographs for that. You can start a private consult according to your need.
Wear loose clothes and avoid jeans and keep the area dry.
Take care :)
