Itching penis,crease between thigh and buttocks/rash

by sjl48, Jan 31, 2007 12:00AM
I developed an itch in the creases of my thigh and buttocks. They often itch but the rash even when dry has not gone away. Also I have an unbearable itching on my pnis and the head is scaly dry with some redness. Once there was some burining on urination, I have resisted itching because the penis has swelled to relieve the itch at times. what should I do? I have not been sexually active but i have used a heated pool and jacuzzi in condo complex. I did not have this problem before moving here.

Hi,

This could be allergic reaction, dermatitis, eczema, or bacterial infection.

You should maintain clean personal hygiene. It would help to wash all your clothes in an antiseptic solution like savlon or dettol (chlorhexidine).

You should talk to your doctor about your diagnosis and also if you need to do another course of antibiotic treatment.

Try wearing lose clothes and apply calamine lotion at the site and see if it helps with your symptoms.

Let us know if you have any doubts and post us about how you are doing.

Regards.
