Brief Answer:
Tinea cruris: Fungal infection of the area

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.

I can understand your concern for the rash on scrotum. After analyzing the picture it appears that this is a type of fungal infection which is occurs at groin region which is known as tinea cruris.

Fungal infections are common type of infections which can affect anybody at any site. But more commonly it affects the areas which are more prone for sweating or moist areas (as in your case). More specifically these are related to the hygiene and environmental factors along with certain systemic complaints.

Due to hot and humid climate or due to tight and synthetic clothing, it leads to growth of fungus at any part of the body.

For the betterment kindly follow the suggestion below:

- Keep your self away from hot and humid climate.

- Take two times bath.

- Wear cotton clothes and cotton undergarments to be changed two times a day. Do not wear any synthetic or tight garments.

- Do cold compression or warm water compresses according to the weather condition.

- Do not sit continuously for long hours.

-If I were your treating dermatologist then suggested to apply latest anti-fungal creams such as "Sertaconazole" or "Amorolfine " and take anti-fungal tablets according to medical advise.

-If I were your treating dermatologist then suggested to take oral anti histamine like loratadine or levocetrizine two times a day under medial advise if there is moderate to severe itching is present.

-Don't try to scratch or rub the area as can lead to further aggravation of the problem.

- You can use any good antiperspirant powders daily to avoid future infection.

You can follow the above regimen for 3-4 days and if benefit occurs can follow the same for next 10-14 days.

You need to check all the above conditions of moistness or humidity to prevent fungal growth.


I hope these information's will help you. If you have further queries I will be happy to help.

"Wish you good health and early recovery from the problem"
