Hello,

The area between scrotum and thighs remains moist and thus fungal infections can occur at this site. I suggest you to keep the area dry, wear loose cotton clothes and use anti-fungal powder. Anti-fungal ointment is suggested since ointment can again keep the area wet. If the problem does not get resolved within few days, you may consult a dermatologist for further management.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
