a few things

First-my husband has this rash on his upper thigh/groin area right under and beside his sack. It kinda looks like circular patches and its multiple spots. He hasn't been around any thing that could give him ringworm and he went out boating last weekend and that's when it started itching. It became patchy when we moved this weekend. Anyone have any idea what this could be? Idk what a yeast infection looks like and I got my sex drive back but don't want to sleep with him in fear of developing the same rash. Any help?

Also I HATE HEARTBURN!!!!! Gahhhhhh!!!! All day everyday! Not cool.

Its probably just a fungal infections, that's all jock itch or athletes foot is. He can put clotrimazole on the effected area. Have him put it on a few times a day and continue to use it for a day or two after it appears to be gone.

Ringworm can go airborne if its agitated (scratched, etc) because its a fungus,so the spores go anywhere. He may have come in contact and didn't even realize it : (

Lmao! Most definitely. Maybe I should start referring to myself as the dragon lady.

Poor guy, that's gotta be miserable! Have him put powder on his "boys" too so they're not getting all sweaty and irritated.

In case you ever wondered how a dragon felt with the whole fire breathing thing, now you know lol

I told him ringworm (had it really bad about 6 months ago stomach, arms, and legs) but he really has not been anywhere to have gotten it. But jock itch is the same thing basically so maybe that's it. Thanks for your opinion. Will start treatments immediately lol.

And I know!! I burped and it was like the heartburn just radiated up through my esophagus. And nothing helps.

It kinda sounds like ringworm :/ he can try washing with head and shoulders which kills anything fungal/yeast. And heartburn is the worrrrrrst. Breathing gives me heartburn lol
