Severe Rash In The Scrotum. Peeling Skin On The Inner Thigh Spreading. Need Help

Hi, i need help, i have a very severe rash on my scrotum . The skin on my inner thigh is peeling and my scrotum is very itchy/sensitive. It is a rigid texture with a very reddish colour. It started three days ago on one side, and looks like it is happening on the left side as well. I am very desperate and need your help.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that the rash is a fungal rash. These tend to develop in areas such as the groin because of the increased moisture.
You can consider using a topical antifungal cream, in the initial stages you may want to also use a topical steroid which would reduce the inflammatory response.

These medications may be available over the counter.

I hope this helps
