You need to see your doctor.

But whatever treatment he/she decides on, you have to use it past when you start to get better.

I don't know.  Your doctor might be able to give you something that will work better.

No, nothing to worry about, and all are very common.  A fungal infection is just jock itch or yeast.

Sounds like it might be a fungal infection, but see your doctor for a diagnosis.  It could also be dermatitis or eczema.

Constantly rub lotion on it, every 1 hour to 2 hours. Do it for 3-4 days, if the problem doesn't subside, go see a doctor.
