Hi, I'm currently a college student living in a dormitory. About a week ago I started having a rash in my genital region. At first I thought it was just itchiness on my scrotum, but then things started getting worse. I noticed a few red spots on my penis and the rash started spreading to parts of my inner thigh, as well as near my anus. It's a red rash, scaly, and extremely itchy. The rash has spread to cover most of my penis now, where it was only a few spots before, and my scrotum is constantly very itchy and painful, possibly from scratching. It is painful to walk sometimes because of the rash on my inner thighs constantly rubbing on either clothes or other skin, and sometimes my penis just starts to hurt a lot on and off.
Looking around the internet, I saw a lot of information about various other people with similar problems. It seems most likely to be a bad case of jock itch, but the rash on my inner thighs isn't very widespread, also, the rash is spreading all over my penis which apparently doesn't really happen with jock itch. I was thinking the scaliness might success psoriasis, but the itchiness and pain seem to suggest that's not it either. It seems like heat rash that I've had before, but much more severe, and I don't know because I've never had a rash spread to my penis, and it's never been so bad that it's constantly been very painful and made it hard to walk. From looking around, I've seen that a lot of people have this problem, and their doctors never really identify exactly what it is, but overall it seems like it's probably jock itch, but I think it's a little strange how bad the rash is getting on my penis. Sometimes the itchiness gets really bad and sometimes it's alright, so I don't know if it's getting better or worse, but the rash seems to be spreading more and more on my penis every day, though it's not really hurting any more overall. In fact, the rash on my inner thighs seems to be getting a bit better, while my scrotum is hurting a ton now. I also have no idea how much of this is caused by damage from scratching and how much of it is actually the rash getting worse.
Could anyone help identify what this is, and whether or not it will get better? I've been waking up after only about 2 hours of sleep every day because of the pain, and I'm getting worried about serious damage to my genital region.
