What Causes Itchy Rashes On Genitals?
I have a rash right next to my genitals and it s been there for months now. It appears to be dry skin but only on the one side. It s very itchy but can burn as well. It gives off a smell similar to cheese, which I ve had before after I had a cast removed from my foot years back. could it be caused by chaffing and moisture?

1. Itchy rash on genitals could be due to prolonged moisture and unhygienic condition around groin region at the time when cast was still there but this environment is also favourable for genital herpes thus examine the same with a doctor (gynecologist) for culture/biopsy sample and start the necessary treatment.
2. Maintain proper hygiene of groin area and wear loose undergarments to avoid friction and moisture.
