Itchy & Sweaty/Wet Pubic area

Question

Hello. i am 19 years old and recently my pubic region has been itching a lot. its irritaing in public, because its the uncontrollable sort of itch, once i start sctratching, i dont want to stop. the itch goes down to behind my scrotum and the place between the anus and the scrotum.

 Then few days ago i noticed the area behind my scrotum and the top most part of the leg, on the sides of the scrotum wet. kindof like sweat, but it smells like____. bad, just bad...
and once i start to scratch it comes on my fingers, its sticky and and dries up extremely quick on my fingers...
Where is this fluid coming from:(?
Thanks a lot.

Hi. I had this problem too. For me it was Fungus. DO they look like a rash with a tape-worm liek edges? THis started for me in the summer when i got VERY sweaty down there. It can also be a Heat rash. They told me mine was fungus when i went to get it checked out and said it is nothing to worry about. They gave me ointment (i forgot what it was called). But another ointment i have is called "Hydrocortisone Cream1% with aloe". It HELPS A LOT! Just wash the area thoroughly, dry it well and apply the ointment. Do not use soaps or body washes down there as it can bother the area and cause more itching. The stinky fluids come from the fungus. Do not worry too much and go to Planned Parenthood and get it checked out just to be super safe :) Best of luck to you bud hope i helped

thanks Jim,
Yes i went to the pharmacy after doing some research on products, and got an 'anti-fungal' cream for the body, it said stuff like, rashes/jock itch/ring worm/tinea..
I live in australia so i guess the products here have different names, but google helped, 
thanks guys and il see how it is in two weeks.

Try using a powdered product used for stuff like "jock itch" which will help keep the area dry..gold bond powder as well....sounds like what we used to call in the old days "crotch rot"
