[|Human|] Initially I thought this problem was due of moisture but it seems that even though I take precautions it still doesnt go away and Ive had this issue for more than a year now. The problem is that there is this rash growing between the crevice of my scrotum (balls sac) and thigh. What happens is that it itches down there pretty often. If I do scratch it (and usually I do because I cant hold it any longer) it doesnt bleed or any pus come out.  The area will be very redish color and it has a smell of fatigus [my fiance is a nurse]. Precautions that Ive taken are showering daily and washing that area with soap every time I do, and wear at least one clean underwear a day. What could this issue be caused by? Any recommendations to what medicinal lotions I can able?
[|AI|]  Thanks for contacting ChatDoctorI am sorry to hear that you are having a rash in your groin. This sounds very much like a fungal infection or something called jock itch. It is caused by a fungal growth in the groin where fungus likes t grow in warm dark and moist areas. In my practice I see this often and treat it with antifungal powders like Inaction or Tamil. To help prevent the rash be sure to shower and Chat Doctor.  Wearing less restrictive clothing like boxers may also help reduce the infection and irritation. Hope this answers your question.
