Can Yeast Infection Cause Redness Around Thighs And Scrotum?

yes I have had for several months a red discolouration on both thighs in the crotch area, accompanied by a very strong odour (musky ) Even after a showert and a thourough cleansing with a cloth and soap the odour returns very quickly. There is no burning, but some itching. It seems to be spreading as time goes on. Could this be a yeast infection? if so how can I treat it I am a male and I opnly found female products at the drugstore?
