Hi,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to HealthcareMagic.
As per your query you have itchy rash between the crease of leg and private parts with sensitive, tender lymph node in front of pubic bone
The characteristic feature appears to be problem Intertrigo. This is a common problem due maceration of skin of folds ladin to bit redness. The lymph node can get swollen because of this mild redness and inflammation itself.
Do not scratch or even try to touch the area unnecessarily, apply any antibacterial cream such as fucidin or mupirocin or gentamicin with mild steroid. You can take a course of antibiotic such as ciprofloxacin or cefadroxil for 5 days.
The things will be totally alright by simple measures so do not worry.
I hope these information's will help you. If you have further queries I will be happy to help.
"Wish you good health"
Regards,
Dr Sanjay Kumar Kanodia
