Skin Rash Between Scrotum And Rectum. Tried Anti Fungal Creams. Remedy?

I have been dealing with some type I skin rash that seems to stem from a sore area between my scrotum and rectum. I have tried all types of anti fungal creams due to suspected jock itch, creams seem to make it worse, and I have found the only way to get any relief is to heavily apply Gold Bond medicated powder which only helps for a short while. Please help it I driving me insane.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
This type of intense itching usually occurs in the night and may be,
1 Eczematous dermatitis, diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a dermatologist and biopsy of effected part.
2 Due to thread worm there develops itching around anus opening ( as pin worm ) and this spread to others part as seems to be in your case. Diagnosis can be confirmed by stool examination . Take a d'worm treatment .
3 Sometimes hemorrhoid causes itching around anus and its surroundings so consult a surgeon so that diagnosis can be confirmed.
In my opinion first of all consult a dermatologist and get his opinion.
Good luck. Dr. HET
