Rash on groin

I have a small rash on the very upper inside of both of my thighs in the groin area underneath my scrotum.  I always wear a condom during sex.  Can this just be some sort of skin rash or should I be concerned about an STD?

if the rash is itchy, it is probably a superficial fungal infection which will dissapear after a few days of OCT anti fungal cream such as miconazole

Hello,
It can be pityriasis rosea. Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and sometimes by itching.

No treatment is usually required. In most patients, the condition lasts only a matter of weeks or months (upto six months)

If the rash persists then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist. Other possibilities have to be ruled out then.

I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.

The area of the rash is circular and about the size of a quarter and as I stated it is on my groin area and on my upper thigh underneath my scrotum but there is not a rash on my scrotum.
