Groin rash/fungal infection?

[simonjohns123]

Hi there

I have had these ring shaped rashes around my scrotum, on my upper legs for years. Recently I have noticed that the one I had, is not three or four and are getting bigger. I have taken photos so hopefully they are visible... This is my first post and I am not sure how to upload them yet!

Thanks in advance for the help. Also, is there anything I can get from the chemist for it? Or am I really best to visit my GP?

Hi,
    There are different types of skin rashes, yours look like a fungal infection called  ringworm. Do they itch or hurt? In all these years, you have not seen a dermatologist? It is always better in such cases to get it checked by a doctor, as some sensitive skin areas like in your case can get affected by self treatment.
Here is a slide show from Medhelp on various skin diseases :

You can also post this question in the ' Dermatology Community ' for better response. Please consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Looks like the fungal infection but it could also be a bout or hives that you have. I've had hives that look like that before and I can tell you that the itch drove me crazy. I had it for most of my life and it was very difficult. I did however find a way to cure it. If you're interested in my story please head over to ****.com

Thanks.
