What Causes Itching In Groin Area And Discoloration?

Hi my husband has always complained about his groin area being itchy, and I thought it was sweat and dust from his work in concrete. Last night he showed me the area and it has a dark discoloration around his genitals and spreading onto his legs. Can you tell me if this is serious, and what can I get from the pharmacy to treat it, as my husband dislikes taking time off to go to the doctors..

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: May be a fungal infection

Explanation: Apply oint clotrimazole locally twice a day for 10 days. Keep area clean by trimming/shaving and dry. This will help you. If not visit a doctor without hesitation. Good luck.
