dry skin and patches of rash at genital areas

[lucky95]

i have patches of rash and dry skin at my testicles in contact with my upper thigh.it is getting worse and i think it started because i sweat a lot in that area due to a lot of physical activities.it is very itchy and irritating. i need some advice on what medication or cream to apply so that it would cure it.please and thank you.

Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of jock itch. For the redness and itchiness, wash your groin daily and then dry thoroughly by pat drying, not rubbing. Also wear cotton underwear and change them twice a day and do not share other people’s towels. Application of local antifungal cream (terbinafine, clotrimazole, econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole) will help.

But if the symptoms persist then a dermatologist’s evaluation will be the best.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Warm regards.
