Hi, thanks for using HCM.
Does the burning area extend, have darker edges, and feel very itchy too? If Yes, the possibility of the condition is a yeast infection.
Based on the complaints you give, the most common thing in the groin area is the
fungal infection. Fungal diseases that affect the area as you complain can be caused by dermatophyte fungus or candida, in the medical world referred to as
tinea cruris.
Tinea cruris is caused by the dermatophyte fungus E. Floccosum, T. Rubrum, and T. Mentagrophytes. Usually about the groin area or the inner thigh side of the inside, can occur in both the thighs or in one of the thighs only. The main complaint is the itchiness that can be great. The lesions are firmly bounded, the edges of which can be either reddish or redish, or sometimes resilient with pus. The center healed in the form of a scaly blackish brown area. Continuous scratching can cause a thickening of the skin.
Other fungus that often concerns the skin folds, especially the underarms, the bottom of the breast, the center, folding buttocks, groin, and between the fingers; is candida. Can also affect the back of the ear, abdominal skin folds, and
glans penis (balanopostitis), between the fingers usually between the third and fourth fingers, between the fingers between the fourth and fifth fingers. Complaints of
severe itching, sometimes accompanied by burning sensation and wetness.
The groin is an easily moist part of the body as it is a folded area of the body. There are factors that affect moisture in the groin area such as physical activity, body condition that often sweats, weight, environmental temperature, and the type of clothing / panties that do not absorb sweat.
A person with excess body weight tends to have skin conditions that are easy to moist and sweaty. Moist skin is a good atmosphere for the growth of germs and fungi. Symptoms of a fungal infection are itchy, smelly, moist, irritated / reddened skin.
Some tips for you:
-Clean the groin area daily and then dried with a cloth. Wear the underwear after that area is dry.
-Change underwear every day.
-Do not use towels together with others. Use a clean towel, wash towels as often as possible.
-Do not use pants or underwear that are too tight
-Lose weight. A person with more weight has a higher risk of fungal infection.
-Immediately take a shower after a physical activity and make you sweat a lot
