Smelly Moist Red Rash In Pelvic Area

I have a rash around my pelvic area about 2 inches round that is smelly, sore, and has a stinky moist "sweat" coming from it and I was wondering what it was and what I can do about it. I've been using hydrocortizone and baby powder on it for a day and half now and it's been getting alittle better. I would like to know how to prevent this in the future.

Hello,
It can be due to tinea cruris or fungal infection. Most cases respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole.You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
