What Treatment Is Suggested For Severe Rash In Groin Area?
I just completed 25 days of external beam radiation treatment for prostate cancer. I will receive radioactive seed implants in two weeks. Along with radiation I have been under Zoladex hormone management treatment. In the last couple of weeks I have developed a severe rash in my groin area on one side. It is severely irritated, raised bumps and oozing a foul smelling substance. It is also slightly bleeding. What Is it and is it related to radiation treatment? How should I treat it?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The chances of radiation side effects for your skin lesion is very less, this might be eczema, if I would be your doctor then I would treat you with the following line of treatment.
1) Azithromycine 500mg once in day for three days
2) Beclomethasone and Neomycin cream, to be applied locally three times in day. You get the good result, take care and have nice day.
