What Causes Itchy Rash On Legs And Groin Area?

for nearly 2 weeks now i have had a rash in my groin and inside of leg, it was real itchy, i read it is a fungal infection through not drying properly and sweating a lot, (I work in africa, but have never suffered this before) I have never had this before, Monday I got some lamisil, it seems to be healing slowly, but now i have red raw spots all under my scrotum, that are burning , i am using antibacterial soap but the burning is unreal, when i put the shower on it hurts but don t want to take it off, as although it hurts and burns at the same time it relieves what is it?

hi, welcome to HCM,
you are suffering from tinea cruris. most common cause of itching in groin is tinea cruris.
take tab terbinafine 250 mg once daily for 14 days.
apply sertaconazole cream twice daily.
take levocetrizine 5mg tab once daily.
above all keep the area clean and dry to prevent recurrence.
hope this will help you.
