What Causes Itchy And Raised Spot In Genital Area?

A circular rash like spot (quarter size) appeared a few days ago below the belt and I am scared that my first thought was an STD or something like that but I have not had sex with anyone. It looks like it could be ringworm. It does itch, is slightly raised, and looks a bit whitish around the edges. I started using an anti fungal about 4 days ago but I cannot tell if it is getting better. There seems to be no change. What could this be? It appeared out of nowhere and I know that I have great hygiene and have no had contact with anything but clothing in that area.

The symptoms you had mentioned are may be due to some sort of fungal infection or contact dermatitis. For treatment you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for itching ad redness. You can use betnovate-c cream or candid-b powder for local application. Maintain the hygiene of local part as you are already doing.
