I have attached two photos

One is my waist area showing the rash the other is my scrotum; nothing to really view there other than it is very red and the skin is thick in areas where it is itchy.

I put apple cider vinigar on it at times as I heard this sometimes helps

I hope the pictures are attached

Brief Answer:
eczema is most likely possibility

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome back.
I have seen the attached photographs.
You have attached the same photographs of scrotal area.
I could appreciate redness of the area.
As per details, the most likely possibility for your symptoms is Eczema as I mentioned earlier also.
in such cases, I prefer to advise topical steroid like hydrocortisone to apply on the affected area for 7-10days.
Also I always advise my such patients to put liberal amount of moisturiser over whole body.
You may take antihistaminics like levocetrizine for symptomatic relief.
Visit your doctor so that he can examine you and give you prescription accordingly.
You can share my opinion with him. I hope it helps. Take care.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
