Need Help Badly Worried
Dear Doctor
I've been having this itching sensation in my crothc area for about 3 years now its not usually on the penis shaft but on the scrotum and crotch. After i got this it seemed to have spread to my ex and give her some kind of inflamation and then she had white discharge. I've been to the doctors twice and they say that its just exzyma but since i've been with my new partner whos totally healthy i've noticed she seemed to be inflammed in her vaginal region. and after i've had sex now like right after it was more itchy and developed some small bumps. I've been reading up all these webpages and i still get worried please help me doctor. I've tried different strengths of cortizone and they dont seem to help much though they sooth it for a while it always comes back. what tests shoudl i have done...the doctors here in sweden seem to just wanna send me away kinda annoying.
i've noticed that when wearing synthetic underwear the tendency to be itchy increases
and i usually dont have pain when urinating but after this last time having intercourse its hurt a lil bit. I've read that a fungal infection can spread to there but not sure what this is. Its never had any huge open soars just itching. it smells kinda musty at times also.

There are over the counter things, but you should both be checked before using anything. You don't want to use the wrong thing and make it worse.

how do they test for a fungus by taking a culture of the area? im so unimpressed with doctors in sweden...wish i was in the us still :/
I'm not sure there is any over the counter anti fungal i guess i still need to have it checked out anyway.

This sounds definitely like a fungal infection, and instead of just trying steroid creams, do you have access to antifungal creams? That would work tons better.
Your gf should also be checked and treated. You are probably just passing this back and forth.
