What Causes Severe Itching In The Groin Area?
Hi I have deep itching in the creases of where my thighs meet the vaginal area. Also in the crease where I had my c-sec.18 years ago. Sometimes the itching is on the back of my upper thighs where the bottox meets the thigh. I had vaginal, rectal, cervical meshs placed. This itching seemed to start while I was on the beach at virginia beach in july this summer. I can never seem to reach the itch as it feels like it is inches deep under my skin.
