What Could Be The Rash Between The Scrotum And Anus?

Hello. I am a 14 year old male and I have discovered a rash right in between my scrotum and anus, and there is another one right next to it. I have applied anti-itch cream to get rid of the itch, and I have to do that every couple of hours. It is red and feels rough and dry (until I add the cream). Please advise?

Hi,

You seem to have developed fungal infection. Groin folds are a very common site of fungal infection. It usually presents as a dry, scaly, itchy patch of skin at this site. I suggest you to try an OTC topical anti-fungal e.g Clotrimazole 1% cream, twice daily.

In addition I suggest you to take an oral anti-fungal e.g either Fluconazole or Itraconazole, for 2-4 weeks. You may also take an OTC oral antihistamine e.g Tab Cetirizine once a day for symptomatic relief from itching.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
