Rash in inner thigh

I developed a red rash in my inner thigh area and while it was there  my testicles were red and had a burning sensation. It got better after 4-5 days and then about a week later there was some chafing where the rash was, and some burning - its been 3 weeks and it seems to come and go. I also have some slight pain in the upper groin. I am worried by what this could be - any ideas?

If you feel burning but just have some intermittent redenss, it's most likely only chafing or irritqtion.  Perhaps some athletic activity or tight clothing are at fault.  I suggest lubticating the area (any moisture lotion will do), wearing loose clothing, and not worrying.  If symptoms persist, as they say, show your doctor.

Best.
