Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Itching Especially In The Groin Area

My husband started itching all over his body earlier today and especially in his groin area. Broke out in bumps in several places on his body the his testicles and penis became swollen and have stayed that way for several hours. He took Benadryl and the itching is better but the swelling hasn t gone away.

Hi,

It can be a fungal infection. As the first line of management, you can apply topical antifungal ointments like clotrimazole for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
