What Is The Foul Smelling Rash Between Leg And Scrotum?
Today I have developed a bright red rash between my right leg and scrotum, this is a little tender but not yet too bad, when I first examined the area, I thought it may be a sweat rash, but when I dabbed it with a tissue there seemed to be some kind of discharge, there is a rather nasty foul smell from this area, can you advise please

hi. The area you described has different type of sweat gland. BY the virtue of its position you might have forgotten scratching unknowingly, which might have caused a small breach in the skin and an infection.
You need to keep the area clean with soap and water, make it dry with a hair dryer if you have one. Apply a lotion of povidone iodine. You may need an antibiotic and supportive medicines , since these are prescription medicines you may need to see a Doctor for examination and prescription.
