Itching genital
The skin inside my upper thighs is always itching. I have a rash there that's been there my entire life which has never been a problem up until about Sep. of last year my entire groin area has began to itch. Now the skin on my sack is always moist and tender. If I scratch it I tear the skin it's so tender. What do you think is the problem?
i have the same problem too and the doctor said it is a fungal infection and he recomended a cream for me to apply where you could get it from the pharmacy.just tell the pharmacist you have fungal infection and he'll help you.i remember he told me this was due to a lot of sweat in that area

Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of inetrtrigo. An intertrigo is an inflammation (rash) of the body folds. It most commonly occurs due to bacterial, viral or fungal infection. An intertrigo usually appears red and raw-looking, and may also itch, ooze, and be sore.
Please keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical zinc oxide cream like Sudocrem, Desitin are very helpful(apply with a paper towel and not directly with hands).Application of mild steroid cream like dermacort also helps. For the itching please take some over the counter antihistaminic like Benadryl or Claritin. In case the symptoms persist then antifungals may be needed. Please consult a dermatologist in that case.
Hope this helps. Take care and please do keep me posted if you have any additional doubts.

not sure if its the same thing i had but i had a rash about a year ago, it started with itching and led to a big rash on both sides of my thighs and the skin might of peeled too. dont remember too much. i put peroxide i think and took penecillin. after about a month it went away. i read up on it not too long ago saying it was a fungus or something like that.
not sure if this helps but you should wait for one of the doctor people to reply
