Suggest Treatment Itchy, Round Patch On Testicle Near Groin Crease
hello there.
I am an RN (in the areas of critical care and trauma). My husband has a round, oblong, patch approx 4 cm on his right testicle near the crease of his groin. The patch is itchy, raised but flat, smooth, slightly shiny, no flaking on the patch or surrounding area. All other areas surrounding the patch seem normal.
I am assuming this is some kind of random chaffing, irritation caused by the combination on friction and moisture and should be treated with a cortisone cream? Would this be your suggestion?

Hi,
From initial reading of your problem it seems to me the case of ringworm or fungal infection, as it is common in this area. You can see the images of the same in google and decide accordingly. You need to take some tropical anti-fungal cream then.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Suresh Singh, Ayurveda Specialist
