Itchy Groin

by Rita1302, Nov 08, 2008 06:40AM
Thanks Kindd for your response to my itchy groin ques on Nov 6.

There is no itching in the vagina nor anus.  However, the itchy area has a dark rash that extends from the groin to the buttocks area where the skin on both sides meet.  The itching though is concentrated in the groin area.  I also took meds for yeast infection a little over a month ago.

Hello Rita,

As the iotchy rash is not confined to the anus and vagina,so it rules out pinworms.Most probably it looks like contact dermatitis or jock itch only. Hormonal changes during puberty,lifestyle and heredity each play a role in jock itch.

Most forms of jock itch respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine, and clotrimazole.

I feel that you should get it evaluated from a dermatologist as treatment for both contact dermatitis and jock itch is different and taking medicines on your own can aggravate the condition.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep us posted if you have any additional queries
