What are these red spots? (pic)

They don't itch or bother me unless I touch them and they sting only a little. Is this a fungal infection, jock itch?-something worse? I'm freaking out

Also to add to this I've had the scrotal skin peel and flake. With what looks like red thin (cuts?). Im not sure but the "cuts" appeared and after a day or two of lotrimin the skin started to crack and peel with a raw feeling afterwards. Its back to normal now but would that also indicate something?

Hello,
It can be due to contact dermatitis 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.
