Suggest Treatment For Itchy And Burning Spot In Groin Area
I have a spot in my groin area. It sets in the underwear-lining part of my leg. My Doctor burned a skin tag from that exact area 6 months ago. I was wondering could it be a mucosal melanoma. Do they form in that area? It kind of burns/ itchy. my underwear rub it irritating it.
