[|Human|] My son is 12 years old and on his inner thighs he showed me right now are red near his testicals.  Do you think his underwear are to small?  Or does he have jock itch.  He said he has been bothered by this all day.  What medicine should I get for him?Thanks,Concerned Mom
[|AI|]  Hi. I understand your concern about your son. I would like to know if the symptoms are just confined to his thigh folds or does it extend into his scrotal skin also. Is there any itching and is his scrotum normal or swollen. If he doesn't have any of these symptoms, you can apply topical CLOTRIMAZOLE ointment (which is an antifungal medicine) in the areas of redness. You can do so twice or thrice a day for 4 to 5 days. Also make him wear loose underwear and let him change it twice a day. If his symptoms do not resolve in 5 days, it's better for you to consult a dermatologist. You can approach us for further assistance.  Chat Doctor. S. Sri Vichy Chennai
