Suggest Treatment For Itchy Rash In The Groin Area
Hello Doctor , I am a 22 yr old Male having a fit and healthy life. About a couple months ago, I slept with a wet underwear on and have developed some extremely itchy, red colored rashes around my groin . Earlier i ignored it thinking they might subside with time. but this hasnt been the case. The rash has grown to my thighs, scrotum and even till the base of my penis. This has become a serious problem with me nowadays. its affecting my social life a lot because i cant stop scratching sometimes, even in public. please suggest me some good remedy

Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have posted you have what is called as Jack Itch.(Fungal Infection of Skin)
Use topical anti fungal ointment like Mecanozole for local application twice daily .
Wash the entire genital area and affected part of the body with warm water twice daily before application of ointment .
Ensure to wash your inner wares in boiling hot water mixed with anti septic solution Dettol .
It should get cured within a week .
