Jock itch and red cut like marks..?
I've gotten jock itch before, however this time I've noticed I have a long red cut like line on the undie line beside the pubis area. Is this just a bad case of jock itch (flared up quickly) or something else?
Also, if a cut doesn't bleed is the skin still closed in the lower layer?
Thank you for your help.

Hello. It cleared up within 3 days of anti fungal cream.
My doc believed it may have been intertrigo (spelling).

Without examination, confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but this swelling can be due to friction rub or chaffing. Chafing is a continuous rubbing of the skin that causes redness or soreness.
Chafing occurs when the skin becomes irritated by the friction caused by rubbing – either against other skin or against a foreign material. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin.Also wear cotton undergarments. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a doctor.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
