What Could Itchy, Flat Rash Between Thigh And Groin Indicate?

Hello, about two month ago I noticed a small disk sized rash between my thigh and groin. I m hoping I haven t contracted any STD, my research also pointed to a possible fungal infection. The rash was flat, didn t even notice it was there until I looked one day, and after it was followed with some itching. It has long since healed though and I haven t seen anything else pop up. Thank you for your assistance.

Itchy flat rash in groin is tenia cruris .it is a fungal infection, v common in areas of body where it sweats a lot.. like armpits, groin etc. The best way to get rid of it is to use antifungal creams and powders so that it won't be moisturous. Check your blood sugar levels, as these problems are more common in diabetics
